巴勒斯坦國

巴勒斯坦原先是一個地名,位於地中海和死海之間,現在的定義包含約旦河西岸、東耶路撒冷和加薩走廊。世代居住在這些地區的人被稱為「巴勒斯坦人」,用以和移居於此的以色列猶太人做區分。1948年錫安主義興盛,以色列人陸續搬到此地,使原先的巴勒斯坦住民無家可去,只好移居到西南方的加薩走廊和東北邊的約旦河西岸。現況是巴勒斯坦武裝組織和以色列軍隊時常爆發駁火衝突,甚至用火箭互轟。
2022年俄烏戰爭爆發,國際間對巴勒斯坦的困境減少關注,再加上以色列的外交成果豐碩,巴勒斯坦青年感到沮喪,雙方爆發多起衝突。再加上半島電視台資深記者阿格萊在約旦河西岸一次清晨突襲中被擊斃,更加刺激雙方敏感情緒。目前已有數百萬名巴勒斯坦人逃到黎巴嫩和約旦,以巴衝突還沒見到緩解的曙光。現在是聯合國觀察國,有138個國家承認其主權地位,不承認的多為歐美國家。
Year Founded: 1988
Originally a geographical area in name only, Palestine sits between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea plateau, roughly covering the west bank of the Jordan River, east Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip according to the current definition. People who have lived in these areas over the generations are known as Palestinians, in differentiation to the Israeli Jews who moved here. In 1993, the Palestine Liberation Organization signed the Oslo Accords with Israel and established the Palestinian National Authority. However, with the standing conflict between Israel and Palestine and the territory undefined, so far they are still unable to establish themselves as a state. Palestine became an observer state of the United Nations in 2012 as the State of Palestine, with 138 states recognizing its sovereignty. Those that do not share this recognition are mostly European countries and the U.S.
