  3. The formation of the state of Israel • The modern state of Israel was created on 14 May 1948, 2,000 years after the Jewish people were expelled by the Romans. • The Holocaust in the Second World War strengthened the determination of the Jewish people. • The Balfour Declaration by the British government in 1917, enshrined in a League of Nations mandate in 1920, stated that a "national home for the Jewish people" would be founded in Palestine, while preserving the "civil and religious" rights of non-Jewish communities there. • On 29 November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly voted (resolution 181) to partition Palestine between a Jewish and an Arab state, with Jerusalem under an international regime. • The Jews agreed but the Arabs did not. • The Arab people called the declaration of the State of Israel "al-Nakba“ or the catastrophe. • By the time of an armistice in 1949, the Israelis had extended their territory, leaving Jordan with the West Bank, Egypt with Gaza and Jerusalem divided. • Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had fled or had been driven out which created tension because they were driven out of their country. • This created the conflict that exists today between the Israel's and Arab's.
