Most countries in the United Nations — 147 out of 193 — already recognize a Palestinian state, which currently has observer status at the U.N. Since late July, four more countries — all major U.S. allies — said they would join their ranks, France, Britain (if Israel wouldn't agree to a cease-fire with Hamas by September), Canada (tying final decision to political changes by the PA), and the latest being Australia. Australia is a final blow!
I remember in our ancient history of our ancestors that in Mesopotamia, the town of Ur of the Chaldees, to be exact, Abraham, father of both Jews and Arabs, turned against the world-wide belief in a polytheistic religion and went monotheistic, claiming to his family that there was but only ONE G-d. The world had a fit about it; wouldn't accept such an idea, remained polytheistic.
That shook up the world against the Israelites who were continually followers of Abraham's belief. These other kingdoms no longer exist. No more Kingdom of Edom, Moab Ammon, Aram (Syria) Damascus (though there is Syria), or empire of Assyria. Only Judah is left with the known Jews in existence. AM YISRAEL- the people of Israel live! Quite a feat after 4,000 years !!!We've gone through DNA bottlenecks many times, but it still is with us. We've always had a remainder of people to continue on, though the Holocaust really did a number on us; but we are here and fighting to stay alive.
Israelites were pared down to become the remainder of the 12 tribe of Jacob, Judah who were to be later called Jews.
The land after Solomon died divided in two; Israel and Judah since the 10 northern tribes had been stolen away as slaves two times; once by Assyrians and the next time by Babylonians.
Jesus-Greek name (Joshua) Hebrew name, was born and died in 29 CE, founder of Christianity. There was no independent Jewish source about him at the time, but information came out in the form of 4 writers in later years about him as the beginning of the Christian Bible; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, with the last the furthest in time and very anti-Semitic. Christianity came from Jewish elements to become a new religion; first carried on by the Romans by Emperor Constantine.
A state of Palestine had been originally called Israel with Judah remaining out of the 12 states, renamed in 135 CE by the Romans who conquered it the 2nd time since a Judean General Bar Kokhba had won it back in 132 CE. Out of furor, Romans renamed the land Palestine -a play on the name of Philistines, the long-time enemy of the Israelites.

From then on, Palestine was home to both Jews and other empires until Arabs entered after Mohammad died, spreading Islam.
Mohammad (570-632 CE) took over the minds of most of the Middle East religiously and politically.
The Ottoman Empire officially took control of Palestine in 1516, following their victory against the Mamluk Sultanate at the Battle of Marj Dabiq. This marked the beginning of four centuries of Ottoman rule over the region. The Ottoman Empire's control ended with their defeat in World War I, specifically in 1917-1918. 
The Birth of Israel on May 14, 1948
Then October 7, 2023 and the slaughter of Israelis along Gaza's border, the world's countries have turned against Israel thinking the Palestinians (Islamists) are the mistreated and the Jews are the power-holder of the world. There are about 50 Muslim majority countries in the world holding vast swatches of land.
There is but only one (1) country in the world that is Jewish with only In 2025, Israel's population is estimated at approximately 9.5 million people. It's land area has changed, now considered 8,550 mi²
In 2021 Israel included 10,239 sq miles in my article. It should be the same today.
The total land area of Muslim-majority countries is roughly 11.372 million square miles. This includes the land of all countries where Muslims make up a majority of the population, according to a Reddit thread. This is a vast area, encompassing parts of Asia, Africa, and even some islands. Oy yes, the world certainly needs another, Palestine. Do they know that they didn't even pay their electricity bill to Israel in their early days? Or their water bill? And Israel didn't cut them off ! Read an article from my past:

Wonder where the world would be today if Israel had given in to Constantinople demands of polytheism? What would not have developed then ?
