    Palestine isn’t a country, or you can bet it would have been on the list.

      Palestine isn’t a country

      Because the US keeps vetoing any UN recognition. It’s considered a sovereign state in most of the world.

          What is a country to you?

          Palestine,[i] officially the State of Palestine,[ii][g] is a country in West Asia. Recognized by 147 of the UN’s 193 member states, it encompasses the Israeli-occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, collectively known as the occupied Palestinian territories, within the broader geographic and historical Palestine region.

          Per Wikipedia. Emphasis mine.

          ETA: the word “country”, again, per Wikipedia

          A country is a distinct part of the world, such as a state, nation, or other political entity. When referring to a specific polity, the term “country” may refer to a sovereign state, state with limited recognition, constituent country, or dependent territory.
