> When the UN recognizes Palestine, it will be much more significant than Google's copy change.

The UN granted Palestine the status of "Non-member observer State" last year. This status change is one of the many by international organizations with regard to Palestine that led to Google making the "copy change" at issue here.

Notice Google said "In this case, we are following the lead of the UN, Icann, ISO and other international organisations."

Not only does the UN recognize Palestine as a state. But ICANN, ISO, and other international standards organizations do too.
