        What is a country to you?

        Palestine,[i] officially the State of Palestine,[ii][g] is a country in West Asia. Recognized by 147 of the UN’s 193 member states, it encompasses the Israeli-occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, collectively known as the occupied Palestinian territories, within the broader geographic and historical Palestine region.

        Per Wikipedia. Emphasis mine.

        ETA: the word “country”, again, per Wikipedia

        A country is a distinct part of the world, such as a state, nation, or other political entity. When referring to a specific polity, the term “country” may refer to a sovereign state, state with limited recognition, constituent country, or dependent territory.
