The Holy See is not the same thing as Vatican City. Rather, the Holy See is an office held by the current pope, which includes control over all of Vatican City. Also, they recognise Palestine.

Less confusing is the fact that the Vatican does in fact recognize Palestine, though that came in 2015, a year after I made this quiz.
