The UN Resolution of 1947 On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly voted to end the British Mandate for the Land of Israel. The Resolution led to international recognition of the right of the Jewish people to establish an independent state in their historic homeland. The vote was accepted by a majority of 33 member states and was a decisive step in fulfilling- the 2,000 year old dream which led to the establishment of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948.

On Nov. 29, 1947, the United Nations voted, by a 71% majority, to partition the strife riven British Mandate for Palestine into two entities, one Jewish and one Arab.
As the 75th anniversary of the U.N. vote neared, legitimate historical memory fades, frequently replaced by shadowy confusion and politically motivated misrepresentation, the need for a memorial became very apparent.
The 1947 Partition Resolution Memorial is conceived and funded by the Jewish American Society for Historic Preservation. Key support for the project is provided by the World Zionist Organization and the City of Netanya.
