Who adopted a plan to divide Palestine into Arab and Jewish states?
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.
What are the continents that the Middle East connects?
Answer: Israel is only part of the continent of Asia.
Additional Discussion
There is no second continent to which Israel belongs in terms of landmass, but there are cultural or political commonalities which Israel shares outside of Asia.
Europe: It is important to note that for UN Security Council rotations, Israel is considered part of the "Western Europe and Others Group" as the Arab Nations blocked its entry into the Middle East Group. It also shares a lot of legal and cultural traditions with Europe. It is also worth noting that like several other Middle Eastern and Caucasus countries, Israel is allowed to participate in the (primarily European) Eurovision song contest. Additionally, Israel plays in the European Football Cup.
Africa: During the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, the Israeli army crossed the Suez Canal and made advances towards Cairo. The small amount of land occupied in this way for less than a week was in Africa. The Armistice, however, returned Israel to the East Bank of the Suez Canal, which is in Asia. Israel has never exercised long-term civilian or military control in Africa.

What three religions have their roots in southwest asia?
The answer you are likely looking for is: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, but this is incomplete. There are more than just three monotheistic religions in the Middle East. Other Middle Eastern monotheistic faiths include: Baha'i, Druze, Yarsan/Ahl-e-Haqq, and several other religions with a few thousand followers. Additionally, all of these titles are broad headers with many intrareligious distinctions. For example, Coptic Christians have their own Pope, while Maronite Christians are in communion with the Holy See.
Islamic Perspective on Monotheisms
Christianity used to be monotheistic, but not any longer for they now believe in 'three' rather than One
But from an Islamic point of view, Judaism is no longer monotheistic either, for they have a lot of anthropomorphism in their scriptures and they associate partners with Allah by rejecting the laws brought by His Last messenger Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace), which associates their own customs with His prerogative to be worshiped as He directs.
All the Christians don't believe in Trinity. Many Christians still believe in One Almighty God.
