In 1938, the British government issued a policy statement declaring that "the political, administrative and financial difficulties involved in the proposal to create independent Arab and Jewish States inside Palestine are so great that this solution of the problem is impracticable".

The White Paper also led to the formation of <a href="/wiki/Lehi_(group)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lehi (group)">Lehi</a>, a small Jewish organization which opposed the British. After World War II, in August 1945 President Truman asked for the admission of 100,000 <a href="/wiki/Holocaust" class="mw-redirect" title="Holocaust">Holocaust</a> survivors into Palestine<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> but the British maintained limits on Jewish immigration in line with the 1939 White Paper. The Jewish community rejected the restriction on immigration and organized an <a href="/wiki/Jewish_Resistance_Movement" title="Jewish Resistance Movement">armed resistance</a>.

In April 1946, the Committee reached a unanimous decision for the immediate admission of 100,000 Jewish refugees from Europe into Palestine, rescission of the white paper restrictions of land sale to Jews, that the country be neither Arab nor Jewish, and the extension of U.N.

In CHAPTER VIII a number of members of the Committee expressed certain reservations and observations.<a href="#cite_note-UNSCOP_Report-70">[70]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Proposed_partition">Proposed partition</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Mandate_Palestine#Land_ownership" class="mw-redirect" title="Mandate Palestine">Land ownership of the British Mandate of Palestine</a></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1237032888/mw-parser-output/.tmulti">.mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{display:flex;flex-direction:row;clear:left;flex-wrap:wrap;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{margin:1px;float:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .theader{clear:both;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;align-self:center;background-color:transparent;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbcaption{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-left{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-right{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-center{text-align:center}@media all and (max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbinner{width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:none!important;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{justify-content:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{float:none!important;max-width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle .thumbcaption{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow>.thumbcaption{text-align:center}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}</style><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:305px;max-width:305px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:152px;max-width:152px"><div class="thumbimage"><a href="/wiki/File:Palestine_Land_ownership_by_sub-district_(1945).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Palestine_Land_ownership_by_sub-district_%281945%29.jpg/150px-Palestine_Land_ownership_by_sub-district_%281945%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="269" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Palestine_Land_ownership_by_sub-district_%281945%29.jpg/225px-Palestine_Land_ownership_by_sub-district_%281945%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Palestine_Land_ownership_by_sub-district_%281945%29.jpg/300px-Palestine_Land_ownership_by_sub-district_%281945%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2038" data-file-height="3651" /></a></div><div class="thumbcaption">Land ownership</div></div><div class="tsingle" style="width:149px;max-width:149px"><div class="thumbimage"><a href="/wiki/File:Palestine_Distribution_of_Population_1947_UN_map_no_93(b).jpeg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Palestine_Distribution_of_Population_1947_UN_map_no_93%28b%29.jpeg/147px-Palestine_Distribution_of_Population_1947_UN_map_no_93%28b%29.jpeg" decoding="async" width="147" height="268" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Palestine_Distribution_of_Population_1947_UN_map_no_93%28b%29.jpeg/221px-Palestine_Distribution_of_Population_1947_UN_map_no_93%28b%29.jpeg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Palestine_Distribution_of_Population_1947_UN_map_no_93%28b%29.jpeg/294px-Palestine_Distribution_of_Population_1947_UN_map_no_93%28b%29.jpeg 2x" data-file-width="591" data-file-height="1078" /></a></div><div class="thumbcaption">Population distribution</div></div></div><div class="trow" style="display:flex"><div class="thumbcaption">Two maps reviewed by UN Subcommittee 2 in considering partition</div></div></div></div> The report of the majority of the Committee (<a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/United_Nations_Special_Committee_on_Palestine_Report/Chapter_VI" class="extiw" title="wikisource:United Nations Special Committee on Palestine Report/Chapter VI">CHAPTER VI</a>) envisaged the division of Palestine into three parts: an Arab State, a Jewish State and the City of <a href="/wiki/Jerusalem" title="Jerusalem">Jerusalem</a>, linked by extraterritorial crossroads. The proposed Arab State would include the central and part of western <a href="/wiki/Galilee" title="Galilee">Galilee</a>, with the town of <a href="/wiki/Akko" class="mw-redirect" title="Akko">Acre</a>, the hill country of <a href="/wiki/Samaria" title="Samaria">Samaria</a> and <a href="/wiki/Judea" title="Judea">Judea</a>, an enclave at <a href="/wiki/Jaffa" title="Jaffa">Jaffa</a>, and the southern coast stretching from north of Isdud (now <a href="/wiki/Ashdod" title="Ashdod">Ashdod</a>) and encompassing what is now the <a href="/wiki/Gaza_Strip" title="Gaza Strip">Gaza Strip</a>, with a section of desert along the Egyptian border.

In many specific cases,[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] this meant including areas of Arab majority (but with a significant Jewish minority) in the Jewish state. Thus the Jewish State would have an overall large Arab minority. Areas that were sparsely populated (like the Negev desert), were also included in the Jewish state to create room for immigration. According to the plan, Jews and Arabs living in the Jewish state would become citizens of the Jewish state and Jews and Arabs living in the Arab state would become citizens of the Arab state. By virtue of Chapter 3, Palestinian citizens residing in Palestine outside the City of Jerusalem, as well as Arabs and Jews who, not holding Palestinian citizenship, resided in Palestine outside the City of Jerusalem would, upon the recognition of independence, become citizens of the State in which they were resident and enjoy full civil and political rights. Population of Palestine by religions in 1946: Moslems — 1,076,783; Jews — 608,225; Christians — 145,063; Others — 15,488; Total — 1,845,559.<a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a> On this basis, the population at the end of 1946 was estimated as follows: Arabs — 1,203,000; Jews — 608,000; others — 35,000; Total — 1,846,000.<a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a> At the time the UN passed its decision to partition the country, the arable land was owned as follows: 93 per cent by Arabs, and 7 per cent by Jews.<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a> The Plan would have had the following demographics (data based on 1945). <table class="wikitable" style="font-size: 95%;"> <tbody><tr> <th>Territory</th> <th>Arab and other population</th> <th>% Arab and other</th> <th>Jewish population</th> <th>% Jewish</th> <th>Total population </th></tr> <tr> <td>Arab State </td> <td>725,000 </td> <td>99% </td> <td>10,000 </td> <td>1% </td> <td>735,000 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Jewish State </td> <td>407,000 </td> <td>45% </td> <td>498,000 </td> <td>55% </td> <td>905,000 </td></tr> <tr> <td>International </td> <td>105,000 </td> <td>51% </td> <td>100,000 </td> <td>49% </td> <td>205,000 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Total </td> <td>1,237,000 </td> <td>67% </td> <td>608,000 </td> <td>33% </td> <td>1,845,000 </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="7" style="background: #E9E9E9; font-size: 90%">Data from the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120603150222/http://domino.un.org/unispal.nsf/9a798adbf322aff38525617b006d88d7/07175de9fa2de563852568d3006e10f3?OpenDocument">Report of UNSCOP: 3 September 1947: CHAPTER 4: A COMMENTARY ON PARTITION</a> </td></tr></tbody></table> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cite_of_Jerusalem._Boundaries_proposed_by_the_AD_HOC_Committee_on_the_Palestine_question.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Cite_of_Jerusalem._Boundaries_proposed_by_the_AD_HOC_Committee_on_the_Palestine_question.jpg/200px-Cite_of_Jerusalem._Boundaries_proposed_by_the_AD_HOC_Committee_on_the_Palestine_question.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="217" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Cite_of_Jerusalem._Boundaries_proposed_by_the_AD_HOC_Committee_on_the_Palestine_question.jpg/300px-Cite_of_Jerusalem._Boundaries_proposed_by_the_AD_HOC_Committee_on_the_Palestine_question.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Cite_of_Jerusalem._Boundaries_proposed_by_the_AD_HOC_Committee_on_the_Palestine_question.jpg/400px-Cite_of_Jerusalem._Boundaries_proposed_by_the_AD_HOC_Committee_on_the_Palestine_question.jpg 2x" data-file-width="834" data-file-height="905" /></a><figcaption>International zone around Jerusalem, boundaries proposed by the AD HOC Committee on the Palestine question</figcaption></figure> In addition there would be in the Jewish State about 90,000 Bedouins, cultivators and stock owners who seek grazing further afield in dry seasons.<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a> The land allocated to the Arab State in the final plan included about 43% of Mandatory Palestine<a href="#cite_note-Merip-76">[76]</a><a href="#cite_note-Held2013-77">[77]</a><a href="#cite_note-AFS2013-78">[78]</a> and consisted of all of the highlands, except for Jerusalem, plus one-third of the coastline.

Representatives of the <a href="/wiki/Arab_Higher_Committee" title="Arab Higher Committee">Arab Higher Committee</a> and Jewish Agency were invited and attended.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> During the committee's deliberations, the British government endorsed the report's recommendations concerning the end of the mandate, independence, and Jewish immigration. [<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] However, the British did "not feel able to implement" any agreement unless it was acceptable to both the Arabs and the Jews, and asked that the General Assembly provide an alternative implementing authority if that proved to be the case. The Arab Higher Committee rejected both the majority and minority recommendations within the UNSCOP report. They "concluded from a survey of Palestine history that Zionist claims to that country had no legal or moral basis". The Arab Higher Committee argued that only an Arab State in the whole of Palestine would be consistent with the UN Charter. The Jewish Agency expressed support for most of the UNSCOP recommendations, but emphasized the "intense urge" of the overwhelming majority of Jewish displaced persons to proceed to Palestine. The Jewish Agency criticized the proposed boundaries, especially in the Western Galilee and Western Jerusalem (outside of the old city), arguing that these should be included in the Jewish state. However, they agreed to accept the plan if "it would make possible the immediate re-establishment of the Jewish State with sovereign control of its own immigration." Arab states requested representation on the UN ad hoc subcommittees of October 1947, but were excluded from Subcommittee One, which had been delegated the specific task of studying and, if thought necessary, modifying the boundaries of the proposed partition.<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sub-Committee_2">Sub-Committee 2</h3></div> The Sub-Committee 2, set up on 23 October 1947 to draw up a detailed plan based on proposals of Arab states presented its report within a few weeks.<a href="#cite_note-Sub-Committee2-82">[82]</a> Based on a reproduced British report, the Sub-Committee 2 criticised the UNSCOP report for using inaccurate population figures, especially concerning the Bedouin population. The British report, dated 1 November 1947, used the results of a new census in Beersheba in 1946 with additional use of aerial photographs, and an estimate of the population in other districts. It found that the size of the Bedouin population was greatly understated in former enumerations. In Beersheba, 3,389 Bedouin houses and 8,722 tents were counted. The total Bedouin population was estimated at approximately 127,000; only 22,000 of them normally resident in the Arab state under the UNSCOP majority plan. The British report stated:<a href="#cite_note-Sub-Committee2_Appendix3-83">[83]</a><blockquote>the term Beersheba Bedouin has a meaning more definite than one would expect in the case of a nomad population. These tribes, wherever they are found in Palestine, will always describe themselves as Beersheba tribes. Their attachment to the area arises from their land rights there and their historic association with it.</blockquote>In respect of the UNSCOP report, the Sub-Committee concluded that the earlier population "estimates must, however, be corrected in the light of the information furnished to the Sub-Committee by the representative of the United Kingdom regarding the Bedouin population. According to the statement, 22,000 Bedouins may be taken as normally residing in the areas allocated to the Arab State under the UNSCOP's majority plan, and the balance of 105,000 as resident in the proposed Jewish State. It will thus be seen that the proposed Jewish State will contain a total population of 1,008,800, consisting of 509,780 Arabs and 499,020 Jews. In other words, at the outset, the Arabs will have a majority in the proposed Jewish State."<a href="#cite_note-Sub-Commitee2_#Ch3Se04-84">[84]</a> The Sub-Committee 2 recommended to put the question of the Partition Plan before the <a href="/wiki/International_Court_of_Justice" title="International Court of Justice">International Court of Justice</a> (Resolution No. I <a href="#cite_note-Sub-Commitee2_Ch4Sec1-85">[85]</a>).

The Sub-Committee proposed to establish a unitary state (Resolution No. III<a href="#cite_note-Sub-Commitee2_Ch4Sec3-87">[87]</a>). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Boundary_changes">Boundary changes</h3></div> The ad hoc committee made a number of boundary changes to the UNSCOP recommendations before they were voted on by the General Assembly. The predominantly Arab city of <a href="/wiki/Jaffa" title="Jaffa">Jaffa</a>, previously located within the Jewish state, was constituted as an enclave of the Arab State.

The defection of Jewish votes in congressional elections in 1946 had contributed to electoral losses. Truman was, according to Roger Cohen, embittered by feelings of being a hostage to the lobby and its 'unwarranted interference', which he blamed for the contemporary impasse. When a formal American declaration in favour of partition was given on 11 October, a public relations authority declared to the Zionist Emergency Council in a closed meeting: 'under no circumstances should any of us believe or think we had won because of the devotion of the American Government to our cause. We had won because of the sheer pressure of political logistics that was applied by the Jewish leadership in the United States'. State Department advice critical of the controversial UNSCOP recommendation to give the overwhelmingly Arab town of <a href="/wiki/Jaffa" title="Jaffa">Jaffa</a>, and the Negev, to the Jews was overturned by an urgent and secret late meeting organized for <a href="/wiki/Chaim_Weizman" class="mw-redirect" title="Chaim Weizman">Chaim Weizman</a> with Truman, which immediately countermanded the recommendation.

The Arabs’ list of arguments against the majority’s conclusions was indeed a long one. A Palestinian historian summarized it by saying ‘Everything about it was Zionist’. When one takes into consideration the majority’s recommendations and the enthusiasm with which these recommendations were accepted by the Zionist leadership, then one can indeed affirm that claim. UNSCOP recommended an independent Jewish state, although the Arabs firmly objected to the principle of independence for the Jews, and did so in a way very generous to the Jews. More than half of the area of Palestine (62 percent) was allocated to be a Jewish state and the Arab state was supposed to make do with the remaining area, although the Palestinian Arab population numbered as much as twice the Jewish population in the land. The pro-Zionist results from UNSCOP confirmed the Arabs’ basic suspicions towards the committee. Even before the onset of its inquiry in Palestine, argued the Arabs, most of its members took a pro-Zionist stand. In addition, according to the Arabs, the committee’s final object – the partition – was pre-decided by the Americans. According to this opinion, the outcome of the UNSCOP inquiry was a foregone conclusion. This perception, which led the Palestinian Arabs to boycott the committee, is shared by some modern studies as well." </li> <li id="cite_note-trove1947-11-30-13">^ <a href="#cite_ref-trove1947-11-30_13-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-trove1947-11-30_13-1">b</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation news cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article134238148">"U.N.O.

Jews jeered some British troops who were patrolling Tel Aviv streets but others handed them wine. In Jerusalem crowds mobbed armoured cars and drove through the streets on them.

A state in part of Palestine was seen as a stage towards a larger state when opportunity allowed. Although the borders were 'bad from a military and political point of view,' Ben Gurion urged fellow Jews to accept the UN Partition Plan, pointing out that arrangements are never final, 'not with regard to the regime, not with regard to borders, and not with regard to international agreements'. The idea of partition being a temporary expedient dated back to the Peel Partition proposal of 1937. When the Zionist Congress had rejected partition on the grounds that the Jews had an inalienable right to settle anywhere in Palestine, Ben Gurion had argued in favour of acceptance, 'I see in the realisation of this plan practically the decisive stage in the beginning of full redemption and the most wonderful lever for the gradual conquest of all of Palestine.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Palestine+and+Israel%3A+The+Uprising+and+Beyond&rft.pages=193&rft.pub=I.B.+Tauris&rft.date=1990&rft.isbn=9780755612581&rft.au=David+McDowall&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AUnited+Nations+Partition+Plan+for+Palestine" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-17"><a href="#cite_ref-17">^</a> Sean F.

"The Zionist movement also accepted the UN partition plan of 1947 tactically. Palumbo notes that “[t]he Zionists accepted this scheme [the UN partition plan] since they hoped to use their state as a base to conquer the whole country.” Similarly, Flapan states that “[Zionist] acceptance of the resolution in no way diminished the belief of all the Zionist parties in their right to the whole of the country [Palestine]”; and that “acceptance of the UN Partition Resolution was an example of Zionist pragmatism par excellence.

"The Zionist movement, except for its fringes, accepted the proposal. Most lamented the imperative of giving up the historic heartland of Judaism, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), with East Jerusalem's Old City and Temple Mount at its core; and many were troubled by the inclusion in the prospective Jewish state of a large Arab minority.

It decided, in a sop to the Arabs, to refrain from aiding the enforcement of the UN resolution, meaning the partition of Palestine. And in an important secret corollary... it agreed that Britain would do all in its power to delay until early May the arrival in Palestine of the UN (Implementation) Commission.
