The Palestinian Declaration of Independence, led to Palestine's recognition by 93 states and to the renaming of the PLO mission in the UN to "Palestine." After the formation of the Palestinian Authority, many countries exchanged embassies and delegations with it.

Some states (e.g. Canada and the United Kingdom) had relations with the PNA but did not recognize the declared State of Palestine.

Relations with international organizations

UN representation

The Palestine Liberation Organization gained observer status at the United Nations General Assembly in 1974 through General Assembly resolution 3237. Acknowledging the proclamation of the State of Palestine, the UN re-designated this observer status as belonging to Palestine in 1988 (General Assembly resolution 43/177.) In July 1998, the General Assembly adopted a new resolution (52/250) conferring upon Palestine additional rights and privileges, including the right to participate in the general debate held at the start of each session of the General Assembly, the right of reply, the right to co-sponsor resolutions and the right to raise points of order on Palestinian and Middle East issues. By this resolution, "seating for Palestine shall be arranged immediately after non-member States and before the other observers." This resolution was adopted by a vote of 124 in favor, four against (Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, United States) and 10 abstentions.

Aftermath of Hamas' victory

After the victory of the Change and Reform list (led by Hamas) in the 2006 elections, many countries and other entities, including the United States and the European Union, cut ties with the organs of the PLC but not those connected to the PNA President, Mahmoud Abbas. The boycott led to the withholding of foreign aid, upon which much of the Palestinian economy is dependent, promised to the PNA. The European Union set up a mechanism to transfer some aid to PNA employees, many of whom had gone unpaid for months, that bypassed the government. After Abbas's sacking of Prime Minister Ismail Haniya as a response by Hamas' takeover of the Gaza Strip in June 2007, the boycott was lifted.
