• After 1945 the United Kingdom became involved
in an increasingly violent clash with the Jews. In
1947, the British government withdrew from
commitment to the Mandate of Palestine, unable
to arrive at a compromise for both Arabs and
Jews.
• The United Nations approved the UN Partition
Plan on November 29, 1947, dividing the
country into two states, one Arab and one
Jewish. Jerusalem was to be designated an
international city given by the UN to avoid
fighting over its status.
• The Jews accepted the plan, but
the Arabs rejected it. On December 1,
1947 the Arabs put a three day strike into
action, and Arab bands began attacking
Jews. War began with the Jews on the
defensive but eventually moving into
offense. The Palestinian-Arab economy
collapsed and 250,000 Palestinian-Arabs
ran away or were ejected.
• On May 14, 1948, the Jews proclaimed independence,
naming the country Israel. The following day the armies
of five Arab countries attacked Israel, launching the 1948
Arab-Israeli War. After a year of fighting, a ceasefire was
declared.
• Israel was admitted as a member of the United Nations
on May 11, 1949. These years were marked by mass
immigration of Holocaust survivors. The population of
Israel rose from 800,000 to two million between 1948
and 1958.
