78 years ago today, on November 29, 1947 (October 17, 1947), the United Nations passed a resolution on the partition of Palestine. In February 1947, Britain referred the question of Palestine to the United Nations for handling. In September 1947, the second session of the United Nations General Assembly decided to establish a special committee for study. On November 29 of the same year, the General Assembly voted on the plan proposed by the special committee. The result was 33 votes in favor of the United States and the Soviet Union, 13 votes against the Arab countries, and 10 abstentions from the United Kingdom. It is stipulated that the British Mandate should end by August 1948, with the withdrawal of troops; The Arab State covers an area of 11,000 square kilometers, including the northern Galilee, the area west of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip, and the Arab quarter of the city of Jaffa, and the Jewish State covers an area of 15,850 square kilometers; The city of Jerusalem should establish an international special regime, administered by the United Nations. This resolution favors Zionism and was opposed and boycotted by the Arab countries and people. After that, the State of Israel was established, and war broke out in the Middle East. In November 1988, the State of Palestine was established, and in its Declaration of Independence, it announced its acceptance of this resolution.
