Rising international recognition of Palestine statehood

Daily FT

|

October 01, 2025

LAST week, at the UN General Assembly, the UK, France, Canada and Australia recognised Palestine as an independent, sovereign state.

With the latest development, 157 of 193 UN member states recognise Palestine as a sovereign, independent country. The acknowledgement of statehood of Palestine by countries that have been sympathetic to Israel in the past represents the growing international isolation of the Jewish state as well as the overwhelming, international opposition towards Israel's military offensive in Gaza.

At the recent Doha Summit, representatives from the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco – the Middle East nations that maintain diplomatic ties with Israel as part of the Abraham Accord – agreed to review diplomatic and economic relations with the beleaguered state.

In view of the massive international backlash Israel is facing as the war in Gaza escalates, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had warned his country could face isolation for years and has no choice but to stand on its own. Israel is currently encountering either partial or complete arms embargoes from France, the Netherlands, the UK, Spain, and Italy.
