UN Resolution 181 – The Partition Plan
1 UN Resolution 181 The Partition Plan November 29, 1947 Eli E. Hertz In 1947 the British put the future of western Palestine into the hands of the United Nations, the successor organization to the League of Nations which had established the Mandate for Palestine. A UN Commission recommended partitioning what was left of the original Mandate western Palestine into two new states, one Jewish and one arab . Jerusalem and its surrounding villages were to be temporarily classified as an international zone belonging to neither polity. What resulted was Resolution 181 [known also as the 1947 Partition Plan], a nonbinding recommendation to Partition Palestine, whose implementation hinged on acceptance by both parties Arabs and Jews. The Resolution was adopted on November 29, 1947 in the General Assembly by a vote of 33-12, with 10 abstentions.
to the Arab States established as independent countries since the First World War, he said: “17,000,000 Arabs now occupied an area of 1,290,000 square miles, including all the principal Arab and Moslem centers, while Palestine, after the loss of Transjordan, was only 10,000 square miles; yet the majority plan proposed to reduce it by one half.
