It depends. The State of Palestine is currently not a sovereign nation and is not a member of the UN, although was recently granted non-membership observation status. The State of Palestine will not join the United Nations, as the United States, among other possible countries, will veto any attempt. This is because these Western nations are Allies of Israel, the State of Palestine's main enemy. The State of Palestine has been conflicting with Israel over sovereignty and land since the formation of Israel in 1948. Even if the US did not veto Palestine's admission to the UN, which is definitely not likely, Palestine wouldn't be able to join because its borders are not even close to being clearly defined. Israel has occupied the State of Palestine for almost 60 years.

Which country became independent legally Israel or Palestine?

Why do I have to choose? According to UN Resolution 181, the Mandate of Palestine was divided into a Jewish and an Arab State with each state being given the right to become independent in the territory. The Jews declared independence according to this permission in 1948 with the State of Israel. The Arabs used this permission to declare a state-in-absentia in 1988 called Palestine. In 1993, the Oslo Accords granted land to the Palestinian Authority, the same agency that declared a State of Palestine. The International Court of Justice held that the UN Resolution worked as a legal basis for both Israel and Palestine.
