As of September 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized by 151 of the 193 United Nations member states, which is just over 78% of UN members. Recently, major Western countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Portugal have formally recognized Palestine as a state. Other countries, including France, Andorra, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Spain, Slovenia, Armenia, and Mexico, have announced plans to recognize Palestine soon or have done so conditionally. The Palestinian recognition is supported by a large majority of countries globally, including many from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. However, recognition continues to be controversial and politically sensitive, notably opposed by Israel and the United States. Summary of recognition status:

• 151 UN member states recognize Palestine as of 2025.
• UK, Canada, Australia, and Portugal recognized Palestine in September 2025.
• France, Belgium, Malta, Andorra, Luxembourg, Spain, Slovenia, Armenia, Mexico are among those with planned or recent recognition.
• The recognition is part of broader international support for Palestinian statehood amid ongoing conflict and calls for a two-state solution.
• Israel and the US oppose this recognition, regarding it as a political challenge.

This reflects a significant global majority supporting Palestinian state recognition, with increasing acceptance among Western nations in 2025.
