":::::::: I said ""they don't recognize the State of Palestine or just want to use the same name as before"". As I said, your sources show that the name is still in use and you could probably find thousands other of articles that call it like that. We also know that the Palestinian president issued a decree changing the name and according to John Whitbeck, that means the PA ""has been absorbed and replaced by the 'State of Palestine'"". The first part of that is in the lead but I can't find Whitbeck's text anywhere in the article. 

 :::::::: Palestinian officals also say they want to create a Palestinian state when their official position is that it already exists but is under occupation. So it doesn't say much.
