A:
The initial plan, recommended by a United Nations Committee and accepted by General Assembly, was for partition with 3 Jewish and 3 Arab areas, and an international Jerusalem. Overall, the Jewish State was to consist of roughly 5,500 square miles and the population would be 538,000 Jews and 397,000 Arabs. The Arab State was to be 4,500 square miles with a population of 804,000 Arabs and 10,000 Jews. Though the Jews were allotted more total land, much of that land was in the desert.

Which countries in the UN voted against Israel to become a state?
Answer 1The UN didn't create Israel, and there was no UN vote regarding Israel statehood.Answer 2It needs to be clarified that the vote occurred in 1947 and was not about voting for or against Israel. The United Nations Vote was about the validity and binding nature of UN Resolution 181, which was the United Nations Partition Plan. The Partition Plan gave legitimacy to both the establishment of a Jewish State and an Arab State. The Jews eventually used this legitimacy to declare the Independence of the State of Israel, but there has never been a referendum on Israel's legality.The list of countries that opposed the Partition Plan, usually because they opposed the legitimacy of a Jewish State were:AfghanistanCubaEgyptGreeceIndiaIranIraqLebanonPakistanSaudi ArabiaSyriaTurkeyYemen

Who was it who voted for Israel to become a country in 1947?
You must be referring to the November 1947 UN resolution to partition part of the lands of the Middle East that the British were about to vacate, with one portion to be administered by the local Arab authorities, and the other part by the local Jewish authorities. That resolution passed in the UN General Assembly by a majority vote of the UN members at that time. The list of countries can be found on line. It was not a vote "for Israel to become a country". The leaders of Israel did that, six months later, as soon the administration of the Jewish partition passed to them from the British.
Why was Israel later partitioned after Arab-Israeli war?
Israel was not partitioned after any Arab-Israeli War. The Partition Plan was submitted in 1947 which would divide the British Mandate of Palestine into a Jewish State and an Arab State. When the Resolution describing the Partition Plan (181) passed in the United Nations, the Jewish people seized the moment to declare an independent state. This drove several Arab States to declare war on the newly formed Jewish State of Israel which officially existed in the Resolution 181 - Jewish Allocated territory. By early 1949, Jewish forces were beginning to make significant gains and the Arab armies requested an armistice. This resulted in new Israeli borders that were more expansive than the partition plan. These borders have become the basis of subsequent negotiations (as opposed to those proposed in Resolution 181, because of the failure of Arabs to live in peace with a Jewish State.
Who refused the UN's idea to split Israel in two?
The question is flawed. The UN voted to partition the land that is today known as Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. This land was to be split into two states; an Arab state and a Jewish state. Upon the vote, the tiny Jewish state was immediately attacked by the surrounding Arab countries of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria . . . in addition to the local Arab population in what had been this land. There never was a partition plan for Israel, which is why the question is flawed. However, getting to the gist of the question . . . the party that refused the UN Partition Plan was indisputably the Arab side. Of this, there is little debate among historians.
Who came up with the idea to make israel for the Jews?
