9	Belize		Yes
10	Cameroon		Yes	OIC
11	Canada	Canada supports the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state, but only as part of a "comprehensive, just and lasting peace settlement". The Harper administration is traditionally regarded as a staunch supporter of Israel. In July 2011, the spokesman for Foreign Minister John Baird stated, "Our government's long-standing position has not changed. The only solution to this conflict is one negotiated between and agreed to by the two parties. ... One of the states must be a Jewish state and recognised as such, while the Palestinian state is to be a non-militarised one".	Yes
12	Colombia	In March 2011, following a succession of recognition statements from South American governments, President Juan Manuel Santos stated unequivocally that Colombia will not recognise Palestine as a state as a "matter of principle" until an agreement is reached with Israel. He emphasised that the only path to peace in the Middle East was through direct negotiations. Colombia strengthened its ties with Israel in 2008, and Israel is now its primary supplier of weaponry.

27	Holy See	Pope Benedict XVI called for the creation of a Palestinian state during his visit to the Holy Land in 2009. He met with Abbas again in June 2011, as part of the Palestinian effort to gain recognition as a state from the United Nations. An official statement released by the Vatican after the meeting read, "Particular stress was laid on the urgent need to find a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one capable of ensuring respect for the rights of all and, therefore, the attainment of the Palestinian people's legitimate aspirations for an independent State. It was thus reiterated that soon the State of Israel and the Palestinian State must live in security, at peace with their neighbours and within internationally recognised borders".	Yes	Holy See–Palestine relations; Holy See and the Arab–Israeli peace process
28	Honduras	During a trip to Lima in July 2011, President Porfirio Lobo announced that his country would recognise Palestinian statehood and support its admission to the General Assembly in September. This broke with the traditional policy of Honduras, which is to encourage a settlement reached through negotiations.	No
29	Iceland	Following a trip to Gaza in July 2011, Foreign Minister Össur Skarphéðinsson announced his country would support a formal call for Palestinian statehood this September. "I told that if it came to be at the United Nations General Assembly in September that a motion would be put forward by the nations supporting Palestinian independence and encouraging other nations to recognise Palestine as an independent nation with its 1967 borders, Iceland would support that. Likewise, if a proposition comes to the UN to include Palestine into the UN as a new nation ... Iceland would also support that."	Yes

49	Netherlands		Yes	EU
50	New Zealand		Yes
51	Norway	Following a meeting with Abbas in July 2011, Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre suggested that his government is inclined to back the bid for recognition, saying it was "perfectly legitimate" for the Palestinians to seek a vote on recognition of statehood. "The fundamental Norwegian view is that a people have the right to use UN institutions to clarify questions about the legitimacy of their status in the world. We are opposed to denying this to the Palestinians". However, Støre stopped short of full commitment until the resolution text is submitted in September. Norway upgraded the Palestinian mission in Oslo to an embassy in December 2010, and Støre had called for the creation of a Palestinian state within the following year.	Yes

Notes

1. Either with the Palestinian National Authority, the Palestine Liberation Organization, or the State of Palestine. The institution is specified where known.
2. Recognition extended by both Democratic Yemen and the Yemen Arab Republic, prior to Yemeni unification.
3. Recognition extended by the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Although the UN did not recognise the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (later renamed Serbia and Montenegro, itself to be succeeded by Serbia in 2006) as its successor, it claims to be such and pledges to adhere to all ratifications, signatures and recognitions conducted by SFRY.
4. ^ Recognition extended by Czechoslovakia. Following its dissolution, both the Czech Republic and Slovakia retained ties.
5. Namibia was established by the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO), which recognised the State of Palestine during its time as a UN observer entity.
6. Recognition extended by the People's Republic of Kampuchea, the predecessor to modern Cambodia. Its civil-war rival, Democratic Kampuchea, announced its recognition three days prior.
7. On 28 January 2011, Paraguay's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a written reaffirmation of its government's recognition of the State of Palestine. The statement noted that the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two governments in 2005 had implied mutual recognition.
8. In Annex II of the State of Palestine's UNESCO application, Austria was accidentally listed as having extended recognition. However, the submitting states (Algeria, Indonesia, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, and Yemen) later requested that Austria be removed from the list. On 5 December 1979, Mr. Ghazi Hussain was appointed the representative of the PLO in Austria.
9. The German Democratic Republic recognised the State of Palestine on 18 November 1988, but it later unified with the Federal Republic of Germany and the current government does not recognise it.
