Interesting that this map does have Palestine (presumably the West Bank and east Jerusalem) but doesn't consider Gaza part of Palestine.

That's quite a unique combination.

Edit: looking at Azerbaijan, I think they just focus on the biggest landmass and ignore exclaves.

Edit2: the fine print actually says that they ignore exclaves, except for Malaysia.

Maybe it's just considering de facto control? Israel currently controls the whole Egypt-Palestine border, so there's no land controlled by any form of Palestinian government that has a border with Egypt

Edit: or it's an artifact of the "exclaves have otherwise been ignored" part, if the West Bank is considered the core and Gaza is an exclave of that
