A major diplomatic push in September 2025 at a UN conference co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia produced formal recognitions of Palestinian statehood by the UK, Canada, Australia, France, Portugal, and several smaller European states including Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, and Andorra, lifting the total to roughly 157 of 193 UN members. Subsequent months brought no comparable wave, with attention shifting to implementation challenges, Palestinian Authority reforms, hostage releases, and two-state viability amid ongoing settlement activity and conflict. Remaining non-recognizers include the United States and a handful of other states; trader assessments center on whether renewed multilateral efforts, BRICS statements, or policy shifts in key capitals could prompt additional announcements before the 2027 cutoff.
