The UN Partition Plan was proposed by the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine and approved by a majority vote in the UN General Assembly on November 29th, 1947. The plan proposed partitioning the land west of the Jordan River into three regions: a democratic Arab state, a democratic Jewish state, and international control over 1% of the territory which included Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The Partition Plan was accepted by the Jewish Yishuv leadership and rejected by Arab leadership.
