The correct answer is the following: <u>option D. After the British decided to end their mandate in the Palestine region, The United Nations voted to divide Palestine into two states, one Arab and one Jewish.</u> On November 29th of 1947, The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution in which Palestine was called to be divided between Arabs and Jews.
The plan proposed by the UN, partitioned Palestine in 3 Jewish sections, 4 Arab sections and the internationally administered city of Jerusalem. The voting went 33-13 in favor of the partition, having all of the Arab Nations walkout of the voting, as a sign of protest. Six months later, on May 14th, 1948, Jewish leaders formed the State of Israel.
