It needs to be clarified that the vote occurred in 1947 (not 1948) 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 vote passed the required two-thirds mark to have binding effect, which means that it serves as a viable international treaty for all United Nations members.
The vote came down (For-Against-Abstaining-Absent) as 33-13-10-1, 72%-28%. (Abstentions and Absentia do not affect percentages.)
