1947 UN Partition Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On 29 November 1947 the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, a plan to resolve the Arab-Jewish conflict in the British Mandate of Palestine, was approved by the United Nations General Assembly, at the UN World Headquarters in New York. The United Nations, the successor to the League of Nations, attempted to solve the dispute between the Jews and Arabs in Palestine. The plan partitioned the territory into Jewish and Arab states, with the Greater Jerusalem area (encompassing Bethlehem) coming under international control. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/1947_UN_Partition_Plan

Untitled Document They said that the Assembly had endorsed the Plan under circumstances unworthy of the United Nations, and that the Arabs of Palestine would oppose any scheme which provided for the dissection, segregation or partition of their country, or which gave special and preferential rights and status to a minority. The Plan was not accepted by the Palestinian Arabs and Arab States, on the grounds that it violated the provisions of the United Nations Charter, which granted people the right to decide their own destiny. United Nations Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali established a high-level Task Force for Economic and Social Development of Gaza and Jericho, and shortly thereafter presented an action plan called "Supporting the Transition: An Immediate Response of the United Nations to the Interim Period in the West Bank and Gaza Strip". www.palestineonline.nu /palerights.htm

The Avalon Project : United States Proposal for Temporary United Nations Trusteeship for Palestine - Statement by President Truman, March 25, 1948 This country vigorously supported the plan for partition with economic union recommended by the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine and by the General Assembly. Trusteeship is not proposed as a substitute for the partition plan but as an effort to fill the vacuum soon to be created by the termination of the mandate on May 15. The United States is prepared to lend every appropriate assistance to the United Nations in preventing bloodshed and in reaching a peaceful settlement. www.yale.edu /lawweb/avalon/decade/decad167.htm

un partition plan united nations general assembly resolution 181 called for the partition of the British-ruled palestine mandate [what was left of the mandated land] into a Jewish state and an arab state. Any Member of the United Nations shall have the right to bring to the attention of the General Assembly any infraction or danger of infraction of any of these stipulations, and the General Assembly may thereupon make such recommendations as it may deem proper in the circumstances. The provisions of chapters 1 and 2 of the declaration shall be under the guarantee of the United Nations, and no modifications shall be made in them without the assent of the General Assembly of the United Nations. amichai.com /war/process/unpartition.htm

BADIL Bulletin No. 03 As the situation in Palestine deteriorated in the spring of 1948, however, even the United States which had strongly lobbied for the adoption of the partition plan began to argue that the General Assembly did not have the legal authority to implement Resolution 181. Regardless of the question of whether or not the General Assembly had the legal authority to recommend and enforce the partition of Palestine, the practical aspects of implementation surfaced throughout the deliberations in the United Nations from September 1947 through to the very last days of the British Mandate in mid-May 1948. Under the partition plan, the constitutions of the two states were to guarantee to all persons equal and non-discriminatory rights in civil, political, economic and religious matters and the enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms along with specific provisions for minority as well as property rights. www.badil.org /Publications/Bulletins/Bulletin-03.htm

Palestine-UN.org The United Nations played a major historical role with regard to the question of Palestine and the Arab-Israeli conflict during the period of détente when the UN gave legitimacy to the State of Israel through the partition plan and later when dealing with the problem of Palestine refugees. The position of the United States (and of course Israel), on the other hand, continues to be that there is a peace process now and that the two sides are engaged in face-to-face negotiations and hence they oppose any action taken by the United Nations, whether by the Security Council or the General Assembly. This was due to the fact that the Observer Mission of Palestine at the United Nations had since the beginning of the Middle East peace process, a clear vision with regard to the role of the United Nations. www.palestine-un.org /mission/3f_role.html

Shortly after Israel was established in 1948, in accord with the United Nations partition plan calling for a Jewish national state in Palestine, Israel became an official member of the international body. Although the United Nations has long been a forum for political attacks against Israel, in the 1960s and 1970s two resolutions were passed which, in later decades, became the cornerstone of Middle East diplomatic efforts. The history of the United Nations and the State of Israel is intertwined. www.adl.org /international/Israel-UN-print.asp

Israel Affairs :: United Synagogue Youth The United Nations issued the UN Partition Plan, which divided the area known as Palestine at the time into three entities: a Jewish state, an Arab state, and an international zone around Jerusalem. Herschel Johnson, United States deputy representative on the United Nations Security Council,announces United States support for the partition plan of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine. The United Nations Special Committee on Palestine issues a report which recommends unanimously (all 11 member states voting in favor) that Great Britain terminate their mandate for Palestine and grant it independence at the earliest possible date. www.usy.org /yourusy/israel/timeline/1947.asp

Press Release - ADL Deplores UN Resolution Recycling 1947 UN Partition Plan It is astounding that the Human Rights Commission is recycling a dated and irrelevant resolution (UN Resolution 181) which set out a partition plan dividing the land between Israel and the Palestinians. Indeed, the strong support for this resolution by member nations of the European Union calls into question EU support for the negotiations and the ongoing peace process. It is shocking that the resolution, supported by many European nations, reportedly does not mention the peace process or UN Security Council resolutions dealing with Israel-Palestinian negotiations. www.adl.org /presrele/unitednations_94/3369_94.asp

Kesher Talk: BLOGGER The Palestinian Arab state provided for in the United Nations partition plan was never established. The United Nations decided that the only means of resolving the escalating conflict between Jews and Arabs was to partition the land into two states. Israel was not "forcibly created beyond the area allotted to the Jewish community in the UN partition plan." Israeli territory expanded AS A RESULT OF the war of independence. www.hfienberg.com /kesher/2002/03/blogger.html

Palestine, Israel and the Arab-Israeli Conflict: A Primer-Page 4 The UN partition plan divided the country in such a way that each state would have a majority of its own population, although some Jewish settlements would fall within the proposed Palestinian state and many Palestinians would become part of the proposed Jewish state. According to the UN partition plan, the area of Jerusalem and Bethlehem was to become an international zone. Publicly, the Zionist leadership accepted the UN partition plan, although they hoped somehow to expand the borders allotted to the Jewish state. www.merip.org /palestine-israel_primer/un-partition-plan-pal-isr.html

U.N. Partition Plan 1947 On November 29, 1947, the General Assembly of the United Nations voted with a 2/3 majority to partition western Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state.(1) The Jews were to be granted what appears on the map in blue. While the Jewish leadership and population in Palestine accepted partition, all of the Arab members states of the UN - Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen- voted against it. Desperate to find a haven for the remnants of European Jewry after the Holocaust, the Jewish population accepted the plan which accorded them a diminished state. www.jafi.org.il /education/100/maps/part.html

United Nations Truce Supervision Organization: History And U.S. Marine Involvement UNITED NATIONS TRUCE SUPERVSION ORGANIZATION: HISTORY AND U.S. Introduction When I was informed that my next duty assignment would be in the Middle East as an United Nations Military Observer (UNMO) my interest and anticipation was elevated. The United Kingdom washed its hands of the Palestinian problem in 1947 and turned the situation over to the United Nations. As the number of personnel grew, the United Nations Secretariat (of Personnel) supported the creation of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO), the same organization U.S. Marines are assigned to today. www.globalsecurity.org /military/library/report/1990/CWD.htm

Zionism - UN Debate on Palestine Partition - November 26, 1947 - Including Gromyko's remarks The United Nations Special Committee on Palestine recommended two methods, neither of which was acceptable to the Arabs, and one of which, the minority plan, did not receive any substantial support from this General Assembly. The national home prescribed by the Mandate, the Jewish national home of the Balfour Declaration, was the beginning of the work which is being continued today, or rather which will be continued today by the resolution of the United Nations, when the report we are studying is adopted by the vote of this Assembly. At the special session of the General Assembly, the United Kingdom representative, on the one hand, declared that the United Kingdom prepared to implement the United Nations decisions, provided that the responsibility for the action that would possibly have to be taken did not rest with the United Kingdom alone. www.zionism-israel.com /zionism_ungromyko2.htm

Role of the United Nations Ironically, the United Nations has been an anti-Israel institution since shortly after the UN was instrumental in the founding of the State of Israel. The United States, the Soviet Union and most other member states of the United Nations immediately recognized Israel after it declared independence on May 14, 1948, and indicted the Arabs for their aggression. However, the partition plan was directed only at the 23% of the original Mandate that was left after the British subdivision that gave 77% to create the Arab territory of Transjordan. www.palestinefacts.org /pf_independence_un_role.php

Backgrounder: The Jewish Exodus, Part II On November 29, 1947, the General Assembly voted in favor of the Partition Plan, and the Arab League nations activated their expulsion programs. After the approval of the Partition Plan, another 130 Jews were murdered in anti-Semitic rioting. Then, in the days after the passage of the Partition Plan, Muslims in Cairo and Alexandria went on a rampage, murdering, looting houses and burning synagogues. christianactionforisrael.org /medigest/nov99/backgrnd.html

Israel:Boundary Disputes with Arab Neighbours 1946-1964 ARCHIVE EDITIONS During the period covered by this collection of documents, the major events that established Israel's modern borders were the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan, the war that followed the creation of Israel in 1948 and the subsequent United Nations Armistice Agreements negotiated between Israel and each of its Arab neighbours: Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. These lines were determined by senior military staff from each side and United Nations mediators, often without regard to significant geographical considerations or the distribution and interest of local populations.

Allah and The Temple Mount The United Nations votes to partition the land of Palestine into two states: one for the Palestinian Arabs and the other for the Jews. Agents of the Grand Mufti began spreading false rumors among the Palestinian Arabs that the Jews planned to attack the Dome of the Rock. And among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place; but there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and anguish of soul. www.templemount.org /allah.html

UN Partition and 1948 War 50 years later Much is often made about how the Israelis "accepted" the United Nations Partition Plan, and the Arabs rejected it, thus launching anti-Arab propaganda that has haunted the debate over Palestine rights for half a century. With this in mind, the United Nations voted formally on November 29, 1947, with some minor modifications, to recommend the Partition Plan. But the fact was that the Jewish forces were actively violating the proposed Partition Plan boundaries targeting major Arab cities outside of the plan for control, and attacking Arab controlled towns within the Partition Plan to eradicate its Arab populations. www.hanania.com /aaview/partit.htm
