This is what is known as the Balfor Declaration, and was draw up by Lord Balfor in 1916. It did not come to fruition until 1948. The season for the declaration is to long to enter here. However the declaration only gave part of Palestine back to the Jews. Eventually they will own all of it from Damascus to the borders of Egypt. This has always been known as The Promised Land.

Did the UN give Jerusalem to Israel?
No. Jerusalem has been the capital of modern-day Israel since ancient times (or, when it was called Judea).No. In the 1947 Partition Plan, Jerusalem was to be a corpus separatum, which meant that it would be controlled neither by the Arab State or the Jewish State, but by a separate United Nations government. The 1947 Partition Plan also stated that after ten years, the people in Jerusalem would have the choice to vote on whether they would join with Jewish State or the Arab State. Given that Jerusalem was encircled entirely within the Arab State, it is likely that Jerusalem would have become part of the Arab State.However, when the Partition Plan failed on account of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, Jerusalem was divided by Israeli and Arab forces between West and East Jerusalem. Furthermore, the United Nations abides by International Law which holds that the Jerusalem Law, which established the unified city of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, is void given that East Jerusalem is part of the West Bank territories. The United Nations recognizes Tel Aviv as the capital of Israel.

Why does Israel have two capitals?
Israel does not have two capitals. Jerusalem is the only capital of Israel, pursuant to Israel's Jerusalem Law which united the Israeli West Jerusalem with the Occupied East Jerusalem to create one united capital city. However, because of the Jerusalem Law being ruled illegal by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 and the fact that Jerusalem was not envisaged as being Israeli in 1947, no country outside of Israel puts its embassies in Jerusalem and instead recognize Tel Aviv as the capital of Israel (even though all government functions happen in Jerusalem).
