UNSCOP

UNSCOP, the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine, was established in 1947 to investigate the situation in Palestine and recommend future actions. Its goal was to resolve the conflict between Jewish and Arab populations over land and governance. After studying the issues, UNSCOP suggested splitting Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with international oversight for Jerusalem. The report influenced the UN's decision to propose a partition plan, which ultimately led to the creation of Israel and ongoing regional tensions. UNSCOP played a key role in shaping the international approach to the Palestinian conflict at that time.
