Partition of Palestine

The Partition of Palestine refers to the UN plan proposed in 1947 to resolve the conflict between Jewish and Arab populations in the region. It suggested dividing Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as an international city. Jews accepted the plan, leading to the establishment of Israel in 1948, but it was rejected by Arab leaders, resulting in violence and the displacement of many Palestinians. The partition aimed to address national aspirations but ultimately intensified the ongoing conflict, shaping the historical and political landscape of the region.
