UN Partition Plan

The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, adopted on November 29, 1947, proposed the division of Mandatory Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish state, with Jerusalem to be an international zone. The plan allocated 42.88% of the territory to the Arab state and 56.47% to the Jewish state, with the remaining 0.65% being the international zone. The plan was celebrated by most Jews in Palestine but rejected by Arab leaders, who viewed it as pro-Zionist and a violation of their right to national self-determination, leading to a civil war and the plan's non-implementation.learn more on wikipedia
