Israel did not exist as a state until 1948!
In 1947, the British concluded that they could no longer manage Palestine and handed the issue over to the United Nations. On November 29, 1947, after much debate and discussion, the UN recommended the partition of Palestine into two states one Jewish and one Arab. The Jews accepted the UN resolution while the Arabs rejected it.
The British mandate over Palestine officially terminated on May 14, 1948 at midnight. Earlier in the day, at 4:00 p.m., David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the creation of the State of Israel and became its first prime minister. Longtime advocate of Zionism in Britain Chaim Weizmann (1874-1952) became Israel's first president. On May 15, 1948, the United States recognized the State of Israel as a nation and the Soviet Union followed suit the next day.
