The British government immediately came out and stated that they supported the idea of building a home for the Jewish people in Palestine. -

Because of this declaration by the British government, many Jews from around the world began moving back into Palestine. his outbreak, called the Arab Revolt, lasted for 3 years. During this conflict, the British thought they could solve the problem and devised a plan to divide Palestine. -

At that time, there were 1.3 million Palestinians and only 600,000 Jews living in Palestine. In November 1947, the United Nations decided to split the land into a Jewish part, a Palestinian part, and decided to control the capital city of Jerusalem themselves. Jews rejoiced that they got a country of their own and Palestinians were furious that their homeland was divided.
