War. The Jewish refugees in Palestine obviously accepted the resolution. However, Palestine, supported by the Arab states, protested. As the Jewish population in Palestine attacked Arab families, evicting them from newly made Jewish neighborhoods, the Arab states invaded. It could be contended that Israel knew that the war was coming and had to defend itself - and couldn't risk a fifth column.
The United Nations voted to divide Palestine into two states, one Arab and one Jewish.

The question seems to be looking for the answer "the United Nations General Assembly", but that is actually not quite correct. In November of 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted UN Resolution 181 which specified that Mandatory Palestine would be divide into an Arab State and a Jewish State. However, the plan was only actualized in May of 1948 when the State of Israel declared independence according to the terms prescribed by UN Resolution 181. So, the plan was adopted in 1947, but realized in 1948.
No particular state adopted this plan. It came from the United Nations and was chiefly supported by the Palestinian Jews (future Israelis), the United States, and the Soviet Union. It was opposed by the British and the Arab States.
