Tensions grew between Jews\, Arabs\, and the British\, leading to violence and international debate. \nOn November 29\, 1947\, the United Nations General Assembly voted for the Partition Plan\, recommending the division of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state\, with Jerusalem under international administration. The Jewish leadership accepted the plan\, while Arab leaders rejected it\, leading to escalating conflict. \nOn May 14\, 1948 (5 Iyar 5708 in the Hebrew calendar)\, David Ben-Gurion\, head of the Jewish Agency\, declared the establishment of the State of Israel in Tel Aviv. The declaration came hours before the British Mandate officially ended. The new state was immediately recognized by the United States and later by the Soviet Union and other nations. \nWithin hours of the declaration\, neighboring Arab countries (Egypt\, Jordan\, Syria\, Lebanon\, and Iraq) invaded. This began the 1948 Arab–Israeli War (known in Israel as the War of Independence). \nDespite being outnumbered and poorly armed\, Jewish forces (later the Israel Defense Forces\, IDF) prevailed. By 1949\, armistice agreements were signed\, and Israel had secured more territory than originally allocated by the UN plan. \nThe first Yom Ha'atzmaut was celebrated on May 4–5\, 1949\, marking the first anniversary of statehood. It was designated as a national holiday and has been celebrated annually on the 5th of Iyar (or adjusted for Shabbat) ever since.
