What was the immediate result of the United Nations resolution (which went into effect in May 1948) to partition (divide) Palestine into two states one Jewish and one Arab?
War. The Jewish refugees in Palestine obviously accepted the resolution. However, Palestine, supported by the Arab states, protested. As the Jewish population in Palestine attacked Arab families, evicting them from newly made Jewish neighborhoods, the Arab states invaded. It could be contended that Israel knew that the war was coming and had to defend itself - and couldn't risk a fifth column.
What did the British discuss with the Jews and Arabs about being given countries in the middle east?
The British promised most of the Middle East to the Arabs in the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence of 1915 and promised Ottoman Palestine to the Jews in the Balfour Declaration of 1917. The McMahon Correspondence, is viewed by some (mostly Arabs and their sympathizers) to give Mandatory Palestine, among other territories, to the Arabs since McMahon generally promised Hussein the majority of the Arab-populated Middle East. However, there were some exceptions and the correspondence states in relevant part: The districts of Mersina and Alexandretta, and portions of Syria lying to the west of the districts of Damascus, Homs, Hama and Aleppo, cannot be said to be purely Arab, and must on that account be excepted from the proposed limits and boundaries [of the Arab State]. Since all of the British Mandate of Palestine lies west of these Syrian districts, it is at best ambiguous about whether Israel/Palestine belonged in the Arab area designated.By contrast, the Balfour Declaration of 1917 clearly describes that a Jewish Homeland would be created in the region of Palestine. If these two promises are to be read to avoid conflict, this can easily be done. However, since the promises are, at best, ambiguous, it can be said that Palestine was twice promised.
