The Modern State of Israel was created on April, 14th 1948. This is called the Israeli Independence Declaration. The Land of Israel has a history simualar to the Jewish People for more then 2500 years, when on 1077 B.C. King Saul built the First Temple in Jerusalem. Almost the whole Jewish People lived in the land of Israel till the year 50, when the Romans drove them out and renaimed the Land in Palestine. The centuries after, the Jews maintained large communities till 700, and later on 1200. There has been a Jewish settlement in Palestine from the time on the Jews became a minority. The State of Israel in 1948 was the first independent Jewish State in 19 centuries of diaspora.

Israel was a state ... that is, self-governed ... from shortly after the Exodus from Egypt until the series of occupations, conquests, and expulsions beginning in the last few Centuries BCE.

In spite of the continuous Jewish presence there ever since, its existence as an

independent sovereign state was not restored until 1948.
