United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine

The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, proposed in 1947, aimed to resolve conflicts by dividing British Mandate Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as an international city. The plan allotted specific territories to each side based on demographic and geographic considerations, intending to create peaceful coexistence. Jewish leaders accepted the plan, while Arab leaders rejected it, opposing the division. The plan's adoption led to increased tensions and violence, culminating in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the establishment of Israel, shaping the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
