RETRO - ISRAEL - PALESTINE - SURRENDER
RETRO - ISRAEL - PALESTINE - SURRENDERA picture released 15 September 1948 shows the Chief of a Palestinian village signing with his thumb a surrender act during the 1948 Arab war against the proclamation of the Israeli State. On November 29, 1947, the United Nations' General Assembly voted resolution 181 on the partition of Palestine in two states, one Jewish and one Arab. Jerusalem was to remain under international control. The State of Israel was proclamed on 14 May 1948 by the Jewish National Council and was recognized by the United States and the Soviet Union 15 and 17 May the same year. Arab States of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq crossed the borders from north, east and south with their regular armies 15 May 1948. Agreements signed in 1949 between Israel and the Arab States ended the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and established the armistice lines between Israel and the West Bank, also known as the Green Line, until the 1967 Six-Day War.
