After the Holocaust displaced Jewish people were moved to Palestine, and the British gave up management of Palestine to the UN, and the UN wanted to divide the state into two parts. The US and Soviet Union recognized the State of Israel.

Because people were aware of how Jews were treated in the Holocaust, they were very supported of creating a Jewish homeland
