The [[State of Israel]] was established on 14 May, 1948 by the [[Israeli Declaration of Independence]]. They became a member of the [[United Nations]] on 11 May, 1949. 

75% of UN members recognise Israel. However, many countries (mostly those in the [[Muslim world]]) do not recognise Israel because of the [[Arab–Israeli conflict]], especially the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]].

==By country==
Most countries recognise Israel. 28 UN members, however, do not. All but three ([[Cuba]], [[North Korea]] and [[Venezuela]]) of the 28 UN member states that do not recognise Israel are Muslim-majority countries.
