Which group of people benefited from the partition of palestine?

The Zionist Jews were the group who benefited the most from the Partition of Palestine in 1947 as they received a share of the land far in excess of what they had purchased up to that point. However, the Palestinian leadership also received an indirect benefit, independence from Britain and rival Arab countries, which they refused to capitalize on.


Did the United Nations give Jerusalem to the Israelis under the 1947 partition resolution?

The Partition Plan did not give Jerusalem to the Israelis. The plan was for the Jerusalem/Bethlehem area to be put under international control, from the United Nations itself and entirely surrounded by the proposed Arab State. Although, when the area became a hotspot in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, no UN peacekeepers were dispatched to the area to defend its "internationalness".

Did the UN give Jerusalem to Israel?

No. Jerusalem has been the capital of modern-day Israel since ancient times (or, when it was called Judea).No. In the 1947 Partition Plan, Jerusalem was to be a corpus separatum, which meant that it would be controlled neither by the Arab State or the Jewish State, but by a separate United Nations government. The 1947 Partition Plan also stated that after ten years, the people in Jerusalem would have the choice to vote on whether they would join with Jewish State or the Arab State. Given that Jerusalem was encircled entirely within the Arab State, it is likely that Jerusalem would have become part of the Arab State.However, when the Partition Plan failed on account of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, Jerusalem was divided by Israeli and Arab forces between West and East Jerusalem. Furthermore, the United Nations abides by International Law which holds that the Jerusalem Law, which established the unified city of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, is void given that East Jerusalem is part of the West Bank territories. The United Nations recognizes Tel Aviv as the capital of Israel.
