This is reply of another postIn New York, on 18 May 1948, Emir Faysal (left), delegate from Saudi Arabia at United Nations, reading a newspaper with headline about the proclamation of the State of Israel, heading JEWISH NATION PROCLAIMED
. Seated next to him is Sheikh Ibrahim Sulaiman from the same delegation.
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations' General Assembly voted resolution 181 on the adoption and implementation of the division plan of Mandatory Palestine
in two states, one Jewish and one Arab. Jerusalem was to remain under international control. David Ben-Gurion, the Executive Head of the Zionist Organization and president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, to be known as the State of Israel,
a state independent upon the termination of the British Mandate for Palestine, 15 May 1948.
The State of Israel was proclaimed on 14 May 1948 by the Jewish National Council and was recognized by the United States and the Soviet Union 15 and 17 May the same year. Arab States of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq crossed the borders from north, east and south with their regular armies 15 May 1948. Agreements signed in 1949 between Israel and the Arab States ended the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and established the armistice lines between Israel and the West Bank, also known as the Green Line, until the 1967 Six-Day War.
