Answer 1

The UN didn't create Israel, and there was no UN vote regarding Israel statehood.

Answer 2

It needs to be clarified that the vote occurred in 1947 and was not about voting for or against Israel. The United Nations Vote was about the validity and binding nature of UN Resolution 181, which was the United Nations Partition Plan. The Partition Plan gave legitimacy to both the establishment of a Jewish State and an Arab State. The Jews eventually used this legitimacy to declare the Independence of the State of Israel, but there has never been a referendum on Israel's legality.

The list of countries that opposed the Partition Plan, usually because they opposed the legitimacy of a Jewish State were:

  • Afghanistan
  • Cuba
  • Egypt
  • Greece
  • India
  • Iran
  • Iraq
  • Lebanon
  • Pakistan
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Syria
  • Turkey
  • Yemen
