The citizens and administration of Israel did, in 1948.

Modern Israel, which declared itself to be an independent nation in May of 1948, is known as the Jewish State.
Israel became a state on May 14, 1948 when they declared independence with the neighboring Arab states.
Israel was recognized as an independent state in 1948.
Israel (State of Israel) declared its independence in 1948.
(Arabs and Israelis)When in 1947 the U.N. called for the dividing of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, the Arabs refused to go along. They claimed that all of Palestine belonged to them. So when the Jews declared their part of Palestine to be the independent State of Israel, the Arabs declared war on Israel. Even though several Arab nations (including Jordan, Syria, and Egypt) attacked Israel, the Israelis were able to defend their land.

No, Israel is not in South Africa.Israel is an independent State.

Israel was declared an independent Jewish State on May 14, 1948. However, the phrasing of the question makes implicit assumptions that must be dealt with. It would seem from the way that the question is written that Palestine was a country and then one day, and was renamed Israel the next day. This is not the case. Palestine was a territorial name in the same way that the Riviera in southwestern Europe is a territorial name. It just happens that some of the Riviera is in France and some in Italy. Israel was a state that declared independence in that territory, which was a British Mandate at the time. There were still areas of Palestine that did not become part of Israel. Most of the Arab Palestinians did not consider Israel to be their state and would later identify with the Palestinian State declared in absentia in 1988 and recognized in the Oslo Accords of 1993.
they declared war against Massachusets and won and when they won they became a independent state
Why do I have to choose? According to UN Resolution 181, the Mandate of Palestine was divided into a Jewish and an Arab State with each state being given the right to become independent in the territory. The Jews declared independence according to this permission in 1948 with the State of Israel. The Arabs used this permission to declare a state-in-absentia in 1988 called Palestine. In 1993, the Oslo Accords granted land to the Palestinian Authority, the same agency that declared a State of Palestine. The International Court of Justice held that the UN Resolution worked as a legal basis for both Israel and Palestine.
