Historical issue of THE PALESTINE POST dated November 30, 1947 announcing the UN resolution establishing the Hebrew state in Israel entitled: "PARTITION APPROVED BY MORE THAN 2/3 33 VOTE YES, 13 NO, 10 ABSTAIN". The top left is fastened to the sheet the original piece of paper in which the verse from Isaiah is quoted: "עורי עורי לבשי עוז ציון" And "UN Resolution Day on the Hebrew State" JNF ".
According to the partition plan, it was proposed that a Jewish state be established, which would include the coastal plain from Ashkelon to Acre, the Eastern Galilee and a certain area south of it, as well as most of the Negev. The Arab state was supposed to include the rest, except for Jerusalem, which they proposed to become an international city under UN control. The plan was approved by the Jewish Agency and rejected outright by all Arab parties. At a UN vote on November 29, 33 countries voted in favor of the plan, 13 voted against, and 10 abstained. The decision paved the way for the end of the British Mandate, and for the establishment of the State of Israel.
