Answer:

The Firestone company has blackmailed and pressured the Liberian government to vote in favor of the division of Palestine.

Step-by-step explanation:

On November 29, 1947, the UN General Assembly determined that a vote be taken to determine whether the division of Palestine should take place so that the Jews occupied one side, while the Arabs occupied the other side. This vote resulted in 33 votes in favor, 13 votes against and 10 abstentions.

Many of the countries that voted in favor of the division were blackmailed, pressured and paid to make that decision. Among these countries we can mention Liberia, which was blackmailed and pressured by the Firestone Company, a rubber company that was very influential in Liberia.
