“HaBoker” Newspaper – A Jewish State Approved and the Partition Plan – issue dated November 30, 1947 (the day after the UN vote on November 29, 1947), announcing the United Nations’ approval of the establishment of a Jewish state and the Partition Plan. The headline reads: “A Jewish State Approved – 33 Nations For, 13 Against, 11 Abstained.”
On the title page, at left, appears a map of the UN Partition Plan, showing the proposed division of the Land of Israel into a Jewish state and an Arab state according to the November 29 resolution. On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted, by a majority of 33 votes, the Partition Plan for the Land of Israel into two states—Jewish and Arab. In the midst of a turbulent period, following the destruction of European Jewry and in the shadow of the approaching end of the British Mandate, the international community recognized the historic and national right of the Jewish people to a homeland in the Land of Israel. The vote was received with profound emotion throughout the Jewish Yishuv and was seen as a decisive step toward the establishment of a sovereign Jewish state.
