What year did the UN divide Palestine into a jewish state and an Arab state?

The Answer you are looking for is "the United Nations Partition Plan for the Mandate of Palestine".

However, there are two minor errors in the phrasing of this question. The first is semantic: the UN Partition Plan came out of UNGA Resolution 181 which was passed on November 29, 1947, not 1948. Israel declare independence according to the provisions of UNGA Resolution 181 on May 14, 1948, but that was not when the "division" occurred.

The second error is that Palestine was not actively divided. The UN took a map and made a prescriptive judgment about where a Jewish State should be and where an Arab State should be. It would have been binding had both sides agreed, but the Arabs were not interested in allowing for any Jewish State and therefore prevented an agreement from being realized. Therefore, Palestine was not actually divided physically, just potentially. Israel used this window of permissibility to declare statehood in 1948 and Palestine used this to declare statehood in 1988.

How did the United Nations attempt to resolve the conflict between Jews and Arabs?

The premise of the question is incorrect in its specifics. There was no United Nations force that was involved in the Kosovo War; there was a NATO force that was in operation during that conflict.

The NATO force intervened primarily to prevent a Serbian Genocide of Albanian Kosovars. As a result, the bombing runs targeted key aspects of Serbian infrastructure and military vehicles in order to weaken that state's ability to wage war against its Albanian minority.

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.

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.
