Question 5 • TX-World History Studies B-CR

Why did Arab leaders reject the 1947 United Nations partition plan?

Answer
A
It gave a larger share of land to the Jewish state despite a smaller population.
B
It gave less land to the Jewish state and more land to the British government.
C
It allowed the British government to keep full control of the region of Palestine.
D
It gave the majority of land to the Arab state and united the region of Palestine.

Explanation

The 1947 UN plan proposed separate Jewish and Arab states, with the Jewish state receiving a larger share of the territory even though Jews were a smaller share of Palestine’s population. Arab leaders opposed the plan, viewing this distribution as unfair and rejecting the partition of the land. Choice A states this reason; the plan did not leave Britain in control or give most of the land to an Arab state.
