Answer 1
In 1948 The Jewish Areas of Palestine and the Arab Areas of Palestine split into
two countries; however the Palestinians didn't accept this split.
Answer 2
The British mandate of Palestine, an overseas possession of the British Empire (and therefore not a country), was created after World War I after the defeat of the Turkish Ottoman Empire.
The intention was to create a "national home of the Jews" within the area of Palestine without compromising the status of the existing majority Arab population. Quite how this was expected to happen is one of the great mysteries of British foreign policy.
By the time the British Mandate ran out, various schemes had been proposed to divide the land between the Jewish and Arab population but both sides rejected every idea. Once the British left, the issue was decided by force of arms after the unilateral declaration of a Jewish State. The Jews eventually gained control of the majority of Palestine, with the exception of the West Bank territory and the Gaza Strip. This area was recognized by the UN security council as the State of Israel.
The remainder of Palestine was annexed by Jordan (West Bank) and Egypt (Gaza), leaving the Palestinian people in a stateless limbo, which was further complicated by the 1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
Answer 3
While agreeing with much of what Answer 2 brings up, the following issues are worth clarifying.
When discussing how Israel arose after the British departure, and saying that the issue was decided by force of arms, it is worth pointing out that there was a simultaneous invasion of Israel by the massed armies of ALL the surrounding countries plus Iraq, followed by unexpected Israeli victory and survival after the unilateral declaration of a Jewish State. In addition to the recognition of the State of Israel afforded by the UN security council, the UN General Assembly recognized Israel as a nation and admitted it as a full UN member less than a year later.
The stateless limbo that the Palestinians found themselves in is not only due to Israeli action. All of the Arab countries that Palestinians fled to also declined to grant them citizenship and continue to decline them citizenship. The issue of Palestinian citizenship and a political future was complicated by the 1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza by Israel, and by the Hamas split with the Palestinian Authority and armed takeover of Gaza following the 2006 Israeli withdrawal.

What country do Jews worship?

When was the State of Israel formed out of Palestine?
Israel was declared an independent Jewish State on May 14, 1948. However, the phrasing of the question makes implicit assumptions that must be dealt with. It would seem from the way that the question is written that Palestine was a country and then one day, and was renamed Israel the next day. This is not the case. Palestine was a territorial name in the same way that the Riviera in southwestern Europe is a territorial name. It just happens that some of the Riviera is in France and some in Italy. Israel was a state that declared independence in that territory, which was a British Mandate at the time. There were still areas of Palestine that did not become part of Israel. Most of the Arab Palestinians did not consider Israel to be their state and would later identify with the Palestinian State declared in absentia in 1988 and recognized in the Oslo Accords of 1993.
What country was Israel created from?
Answer 1Palestine.Answer 2No really good answer. Since Palestine had never previously been an Arab self-determining region prior to 1948, it seems unreasonable to claim that Israel was created from the country of Palestine. (This is as opposed to saying that the US State of Texas was created from the original country of Texas which was independent for a short period.) Israel was previously the British Mandate of Palestine which was previously a part of the Ottoman Empire, so the country that Israel would have been created from would either be the United Kingdom, the Ottoman Empire, or the League of Nations Trust (the organization that supervised Mandates).
