Answer: No, As of 3 August 2018, 137 of the 193 member states of the United Nations and two non-member states have recognized the State of Palestine. Many of the countries that do not recognize the State of Palestine nevertheless recognize the PLO as the ``representative of the Palestinian people''. On 29 November 2012, the UN General Assembly passed a motion changing Palestine's ``entity'' status to ``non-member observer state'' by a vote of 138 to 9, with 41 abstentions.
