I'm surprised that there's so many countries who recognize Palestine. Is this a recent development?

[-] renzhexiangjiao 43 points 2 months ago

no, the communist bloc and non-aligned countries recognised palestine in opposition to the western bloc's support of israel, right when palestine declared its independence in 1988

Ireland (and norway iirc) only recognised palestine recently.

The recent development is the recognition by some European and Caribbean countries. The rest of the world has recognized Palestine for decades.
