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
