History of Palestinian statehood

Proposals for a Palestinian state vary depending on one's views of Palestinian statehood , as well as various definitions of Palestine and " Palestinian " (see also State of Palestine ).

Between 1948 and 1967, Gaza and the West Bank were occupied by Egypt and Jordan, respectively. The proposals include the Gaza Strip , which is controlled by the Hamas faction of the Palestinian National Authority , the West Bank , which is administered by the Fatah faction of the Palestinian National Authority , and East Jerusalem which is controlled by Israel under a claim of sovereignty. The proclaimed State of Palestine is recognized by 157 countries . The Israeli military commander exercises usufructuary rights in accordance with international law, but it is not the legal sovereign of the disputed territory. The permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people over the natural resources of the Palestinian territories has been recognized by 139 countries, and Palestine is recognized by the UN as a non member state. Under agreements reached with Israel, the Palestinian Authority exercises de jure control over many natural resources, while interim cooperation arrangements are in place for others. Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU): 3.10 - How many countries recognize Palestine as a state? The Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples - resolution 1514 (XV) , 1960 outlawed colonialism, and provided that indigenous peoples have permanent sovereignty over the natural resources of their territory. The UN has reaffirmed the principle of the permanent sovereignty of peoples under foreign occupation over their natural resources, and the Permanent Sovereignty of the Palestinian People Over The Natural Resources Of The Occupied Palestinian territories . The vote in 2008 was 139 to 6. The representative of Israeli stated that under agreements reached between the two sides, the Palestinian Authority already exercises jurisdiction (i.e. de jure control) over many natural resources, while interim cooperation and arrangements are in place for others.

The history of the State of Palestine describes the creation and evolution of the State of Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza Strip . During the Mandatory period , numerous plans of partition of Palestine were proposed but without the agreement of all parties. This triggered the 1947–1949 Palestine war and led, in 1948, to the establishment of the state of Israel on a part of Mandate Palestine as the Mandate came to an end. The Gaza Strip came under Egyptian occupation , and the West Bank was ruled by Jordan , before both territories were occupied by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War . Since then there have been proposals to establish a Palestinian state. In 1969, for example, the PLO proposed the establishment of a binational state over the whole of the former British Mandate territory. This proposal was rejected by Israel, as it would have amounted to the disbanding of the state of Israel. The basis of the current proposals is for a two-state solution on either a portion of or the entirety of the Palestinian territories —the Gaza Strip and the West Bank , including East Jerusalem , which have been occupied by Israel since 1967.

The leaders of the Jewish Agency for Palestine accepted parts of the plan, while Arab leaders refused it.
