The phrasing of the question misconstrues the authority of the (passed) United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181. Most people incorrectly believe that UNGA Resolution 181 (II), passed on November 29, 1947, "created" a Jewish State (Israel) and an Arab State (Palestine) on the map. This is not the case. What the UN Resolution does provide for is the permission for the different ethno-religious groups in Mandatory Palestine to declare a state. In the case of most mandates, the understanding was that the mandate would eventually become independent as one new state, like Iraq or Syria had. The case of Palestine was therefore unique and needed the permission to deviate from the traditional path of independence. Because of there being two states, provisional borders had to be provided, which is why a map was used, but those borders would only come into play if both sides decided to remain at peace.

The Jews acted on the permission granted to them by UN Resolution 181 by declaring independence on May 14, 1948 (nearly six months after the Resolution was passed) and therefore creating the State of Israel.

Which countries in the UN voted against Israel to become a state?

Answer 1The UN didn't create Israel, and there was no UN vote regarding Israel statehood.Answer 2It 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:AfghanistanCubaEgyptGreeceIndiaIranIraqLebanonPakistanSaudi ArabiaSyriaTurkeyYemen
