Outline of the State of Palestine
Palestine- country in the middle east, is politically under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian government and the Hamas Government in Gaza. Since the Palestinian Declaration of Independence in 1988 and the consequent admission into UN as an observer state in 2012, Palestine is today recognized by three-quarters of the world's countries. Its claimed capital is East Jerusalem, although Ramallah is its internationally recognised capital. Although recently promoted to a non-member state status in the UN, the State of Palestine does not exert full control of its territory and has historically turbulent relations with Israel and much of of the west."Note:" West Bank includes the northern portion of the Dead Sea with a shoreline.

Sayyid Ahmed Amiruddin
On February 26th, 2018, in response to the Conservative Party of Canada Leader Andrew Scheer's vow to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel if his party forms government in 2019, Sayyid called on the Government of Canada to join the international community, and officially also recognize Palestine as a sovereign and independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital. According to Sayyid, "(Canadian) Recognition of the State of Palestine does not mean a denial of the State of Israel with Jerusalem as its capital, rather it simply recognizes the reality that Jerusalem will never be the exclusive capital of the State of Israel, rather it will always remain a shared holy capital of the Arabs and Israelis, Muslims, Christians and Jews, of the State of Palestine and the State of Israel".
