1947
The United Nations proposed a plan to divide Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state.
divided into an Arab and a Jewish state.
After world war 2 The United Nations gave The Jewish people land in Israel. This idea was first proposed by Theodor Herzl.
The United Nations voted to divide Palestine into two states, one Arab and one Jewish.
The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine or United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 was a plan approved by the United Nations on November 29, 1947 to terminate the British Mandate of Palestine by August 1, 1948 and recommend the creation of two states, one Jewish and one Arab, in Palestine. The plan was approved by the United Nations General Assembly by 33 votes to 13, with 10 abstentions.
They passed UN Resolution 181 which partitioned the land into two separate states: a Jewish State and an Arab State.
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.
It depends on how the question is read. If it is referring to UNGA Resolution 181 (II), which was passed in 1947 and was designed to deal with the British Mandate of Palestine, it was divided into 2 countries - Israel and Palestine, but the UN had proposed that the city of Jerusalem be made into a separate, international city. However, as a result of nearly 70 years of conflict, the current plan is to have the Eastern Jerusalem as the capital for the Palestinian State and the Western Jerusalem as the Capital for Israel State. Israel insists to have the whole Jerusalem as Israel capital.
Yes, and is represented as such at the United Nations.
Well, the majority of people know that Israel holds an incredible religious importance to the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim community. However, the united nations found it important to create a Jewish state especially after the Holocaust, in one way to show that the united nations was making an effort to rebuild the Jewish community after the holocaust, and in another way to make an effort from the Jewish religion ever being destroyed.

It depends on what you are calling Palestine. If you are referring to the British Mandate for Palestine, as a mandate, the territory was subject to League of Nations final authority. The job of the British was to safeguard the territory on behalf of the League and to advance the modernization and independence of the territory in accordance with the provisions of the mandate. When the United Nations superseded the League of Nations, the United Nations became the final authority in adjudicating issues related to the Mandate. in 1947, the British decided to give the UN a voice in determining the future of the mandate. In UNGA Resolution 181 (II), the United Nations resolved to create two states: a Jewish State and an Arab State. This resolution sets up the groundwork and legal basis for the existence of two countries: Israel (the Jewish State) and Palestine (the Arab State). If you are referring to the current State of Palestine. It has unofficial recognition in the United Nations and has recognition in several UN organizations like UNESCO. Palestine continually pushes for increased recognition to have better leverage in determining its future vis-à-vis Israel.
