Translation in part reads, "Ha'aretz Free Special Edition / Establishment / Of The State / …General Assembly of the U.N. / receiving more than two-thirds [vote] / on the resolution of the establishment of two / states - Jewish and Arab - / in the land of Israel." On 29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly voted in favor of a resolution, which adopted the plan for the partition of Palestine, recommended by the majority of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP). The partition map proposed by UNSCOP allotted the Jewish state only a small part of Western Palestine. Despite this fact, the Zionist Organization and the institutions of the Jewish community in Eretz Yisrael agreed to accept the plan, since it recognized the right of the Jewish people to a state and not only a "national home" as stated in the 1917 Balfour Declaration and the 1922 Mandate for Palestine. The adoption of the partition resolution by the General Assembly was received by the Jewish community with great joy and thousands went out to the streets to celebrate.
