Answer 1
Palestine is not recognized as an independent nation because it fails to reach the eight internationally accepted criteria necessary to attain that status. Therefore, it is not a member, but a permanent observer of the U.N.
Answer 2
There is no 'Palestine' country, so no the answer is no. The land formerly known as 'Palestine' was a British mandate. Most of that land is now Israel and Israel does have a seat in the United Nations although, due to politics has very limited power.
Answer 3
The majority of the former British Mandate of Palestine is occupied by Israel but the remaining 22%, called the West Bank and Gaza, declared independence in 1988. In the last democratic elections in Palestine, Hamas won the majority of seats in the Palestinian government called the Palestinian Legislative. However, the Legislature has been unable to meet and govern since 2007 due the majority of its members being imprisoned by Israel. It has applied for membership but its membership in the UN Security Council, but it was vetoed by the USA. Therefore, it is not a member, but was invited to have be a permanent observer of the U.N., and have a seat, but does not have any voting powers. The only other state that is permitted this privilege is the Holy See i.e. The Vatican.
