The UN generally doesn't "create" countries, and it didn't create Israel.

What the UN did, in 1947 ... reflecting publicly stated opinions and policies of British, American, Muslim, and Jewish statesmen and political leaders going back at least to the beginning of the 20th Century ... was to take a small part of the region that the British had controlled, cut it in two pieces, give the local Arab leaders administrative and political control of one piece, and give the local Jewish leaders administrative and political control of the other piece, to be effective as soon as the British cease administrative and political control and go home in 1948.

Six months later, the date arrived, and British control officially ended. The local Jewish leaders declared their piece to be a country, the local Arab leaders didn't, and seven surrounding Arab countries put their armies together and invaded the Jewish-administered piece. They succeeded in grabbing a lot of it, but after fighting for the rest of 1948, everybody, including the Israelis, were surprised to see that the new country was still there. And what really grinds a lot of peoples' gears is that even now, more than 60 years later, it's still there, and it has the audacity to announce that Jews now have something to say about their own fate, and to insist that their country has no intention of evaporating.
