nov 29, 1947 - UN Partition Plan

Description:

On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 181, recommending the division of British Mandatory Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem placed under international administration. Jewish leadership accepted the plan while Arab leaders and neighboring states rejected it, and the vote was followed almost immediately by civil war between Jewish and Arab communities in Palestine, setting the stage for the declaration of the State of Israel and the war that followed in 1948.
