The issue of a Palestinian homeland was finally settled..
UN Resolution 181.
UN Resolution 181: The Partition Plan for the Mandate of Palestine.
The Partition would have separated the Mandate for Palestine into a Jewish State, an Arab State, and a separate UN-governed area for the Old City of Jerusalem. However, since fighting broke out immediately after the UN Resolution was signed, the only effect of the Resolution was to grant legitimacy to the presence of two states, one Jewish and one Arab in the land of Mandatory Palestine.
The United Nations General Assembly.On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted UN Resolution 181 which specified that Mandatory Palestine would be divided 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.
No. In 1947, the United Nations, not the United States, adopted a plan calling for the division of the British Mandate of Palestine into a Jewish and Arab States. The United States supported this Resolution but did not "adopt" it.
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.
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted UN Resolution 181 which specified that Mandatory Palestine would be divided 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.
The Nation of Israel was formed as a result of UN resolution. Wealthy Arab families migrated from the area fearing clashes and loss of wealth. Other were warned by Clerics to move out of the area. As a result, an independent Settlement of Palestine never happened.
Why do I have to choose? According to UN Resolution 181, the Mandate of Palestine was divided into a Jewish and an Arab State with each state being given the right to become independent in the territory. The Jews declared independence according to this permission in 1948 with the State of Israel. The Arabs used this permission to declare a state-in-absentia in 1988 called Palestine. In 1993, the Oslo Accords granted land to the Palestinian Authority, the same agency that declared a State of Palestine. The International Court of Justice held that the UN Resolution worked as a legal basis for both Israel and Palestine.
No. No country is leased by or to another country. Additionally, Palestine had no ability to lease out territory given that it was not a country at the time of Israel's independence. Israel received independence as a result of the UN Partition Plan of Mandatory Palestine.
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.
They passed UN Resolution 181 which partitioned the land into two separate states: a Jewish State and an Arab State.
