Answer 1

The United Nations plan for the Palestine called for the creation of two states, one Arab and one Jewish, in the mandate.

Option: (D)

Explanation:

• Owing to the consistent and ongoing conflicts between the Jews from Israel and the Arabs from the Arab countries neighboring Israel, the United Nations decided to mediate by making a plan through which they would divide Palestine (the land that was causing the conflict between the two communities) into two different states.
• The plan enumerated the idea of dividing Palestine into two parts, out of which one would be given to Jews, and the other would be given to Arabs.
• The plan was not accepted by either of the two.
