In the latest update of my website, ISRAEL and PALESTINE are now treated as two distinct entities.
Although the United Nations only recognizes 193 member states (and Palestine holds observer status), from a technical and user experience standpoint, I decided to represent both Israel and Palestine as individual countries on the map.
✅ What Changed:
ISO Code: I used the standard country code for Palestine: PS
Names: Added localized names:
In Spanish: Palestina
In English: Palestine
Geographic Coordinates: Assigned approx.
lat: 31.95, lng: 35.23
so that it appears correctly in the app's map view.
This decision aligns with the platform’s values of inclusiveness and neutrality — offering users from all regions a more accurate representation of their identity and location.
