Original Note:
Palestine was not an independent country and Israel had not yet been established in 1947. The area was controlled by the British (the British Mandate for Palestine after WW1). The British withdrew in 1948 when Israel was formed, per United Nations Resolution 181. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/02/01/magazine/israel-founding-palestinian-conflict.html https://www.history.com/topics/middle-east/history-of-israel https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-Nations-Resolution-181 https://worldhistorycommons.org/map-partition-israel-and-palestine https://www.britannica.com/topic/Partition-of-Palestine
