The opening as it read in 2010
The Palestinian Authority was established in 1994 by the Palestinian Liberation Organization as a result of the Oslo Accords and the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement . The Israeli government transferred certain powers and responsibilities of self-government to the PA, which are in effect in parts of the West Bank, and used to be effective in the Gaza Strip before Hamas's takeover. The Palestinian Authority enjoys wide recognition and maintains diplomatic relations with many states. In 1988 the PLO declared the State of Palestine , being quite widely recognized by states, although often in equivocal terms . At the time of the declaration, the PLO did not exercise any control over the territory in question. The PA Prime Minister estimated the number of states recognizing the 1988-proclaimed State of Palestine at several dozens . The PA Minister of Foreign Affairs said he could provide documents showing that "Palestine was recognized as a state by 67 countries and had bilateral agreements with states in Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe . The Palestinian People maintains diplomatic relations either as the Palestinian Authority or the State of Palestine with about 60 states.
