Palestinians were ruled by existing institutions that were taken by the british, the. This difference in ruling created tension between the two groups and increasing frustration. Un special commission divides palestine into 2 states (1947) Accepted by jewish community they have everything to gain from the proposal. Rejected by palestinian community they only stood to lose and believed the partition plan did not reflect accurately the populations. Because nothing could be agreed upon the un goes to the general assembly and it is passed by vote and so the division ensues. 1948 the british leave and the zionists announce they have their own state but then war breaks out. Most arab states in the region enter the war against israel, including lebanon, Syria, iraq, transjordan and egypt lasted 11 months and israel wins the war.
