Wikipedia: The State of Palestine, officially simply Palestine, is a state with limited recognition. It was proclaimed on November 15, 1988, in Algiers by the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) Palestinian National Council (PNC) as an affirmation of the Palestinian people's right to self determination in form of an independent, sovereign state, at a time when the PLO did not exercise any control over the territory in question. The declaration designated Jerusalem the capital of Palestine, despite the Israeli control over the city and its designation as the Israeli capital in the Israeli law.
