Israel was not a state in 1945. The land was called Palestine at that time and was populated by around 1 million Arab Christians and Muslims and a small minority of Jews (about 1% of the population).

The British occupied Palestine until Jewish immigrants came in overwhelming numbers after WWII (mostly from Europe) and forced the British to leave so that the Jews could rule the land instead.

600,000 Jews under British marshal law.

Germans were on a break into Egypt and on to Israel.

Great concern.

The British won.

Many Jew escaped Europe because of the Holocaust . Came to leave and developed the country.
