Following the conclusion of World War II, the United Nations issued a resolution in 1947 regarding the partition of Palestine between Arabs and Jews.
On May 14, 1948, Israeli leaders convened at the Tel Aviv Museum and declared the termination of the British Mandate. The establishment of the state of Israel was acknowledged by both the United States of America and the Soviet Union.
The 1948 War saw numerous Arab nations reject the perceived unjust occupation and partition of Palestine by the United States. Israel emerged victorious in several conflicts with the support of America, acquiring territories larger than those initially sanctioned by the United States.
