The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, adopted on 29 November 1947, made several key recommendations:
Partition into Two States: The plan proposed the division of Palestine into two separate states, one Jewish and one Arab.
Territorial Division: The Jewish state was allocated approximately 56.47% of the territory, while the Arab state was to receive around 43.53%.
Jerusalem as an International Zone: The city of Jerusalem was to be governed as a special international regime (corpus separatum) due to its religious significance to multiple groups, making it separate from the two states.
Economic Union: Both states were encouraged to establish an economic union to facilitate cooperation and development.
The resolution was accepted by the Jewish community in Palestine but rejected by the Arab community, leading to subsequent conflict.
