The "State of Palestine" (Arabic: دولة فلسطين dawlat filastin) is the name given to a proposed Palestinian state that would govern the occupied Palestinian territories, but does not currently have sovereignty there. It was declared in Algiers on November 15, 1988, by the Palestinian National Council, the legislative body of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The aim of the Council is for the state to comprise both the West Bank and the Gaza strip with Jerusalem as its capital. [1]
