1947 UN Partition Plan
Okay, so in 1947, some people who were in charge of a big group of countries called the United Nations had an idea. They wanted to split a piece of land called Palestine into two parts. One part would be for Jewish people to live, and one part would be for Muslim people to live.
They made a big plan that showed exactly where the borders would be and how the land would be divided. They called it the "partition plan."
They thought this would be a good idea because there were lots of Jewish people who wanted a place to call their own and be safe, and there were also lots of Muslim people who wanted that too.
But not everyone was happy about this plan. Some people who were already living in Palestine didn't want their land to be split up, and some people didn't think it was fair that the Jewish people were getting their own land.
In the end, the plan was approved by the United Nations, and that's how Israel became its own country. But it was also a very complicated and difficult time for the people who lived there and for the rest of the world to figure out how to make things fair for everyone.
