- em3rgent0rdr 10y agoon the left side of screen has: "Quick facts The State of Palestine, also known simply as Palestine, is a de jure sovereign state in the Middle East that is recognized by 136 UN members and since 2012 has a status of a non-member observer state ...Wikipedia President:Mahmoud Abbas Capital:Ramallah Prime minister:Rami Hamdallah" The map is centered around East Jerusalem. No label of "Palestine" on the actual map. But there is a label for "Israel" and "Gaza". And there are dotted lines between Israel proper and the West Bank & Gaza.
