Funny, since they haven’t even declared their independence. I think that’s sort of a prerequisite.
They haven’t declared it because they don’t want to recognize Israel’s borders or right to independence, and they are a basket case of a territory. They have two entirely separate governments on two separate land masses. Gaza is those by Islamists and the West Bank by Arabists in fancy Italian suits. They don’t get along - two different ideologies. Corrupt as all get out and almost entirely dependent on others for nearly all essential needs.
And their dependency attitude continues - demanding others recognize their independence when they can’t and don’t recognize it themselves. Nobody even knows who’s in charge and neither land mass had held elections in nearly 2 decades. Abbas is almost 89 years old and the Hamas leadership in Gaza is either dead or in hiding.
There's no such thing as Palestine to identify the unified country of Gaza and the West Bank.
Gaza refuses to be under Israel or the West Bank's rule.
