A history of modern Israel since its formation, by Geoffrey Russell, 28 November 2019.
February 17, 2022
On the 29th November 1947, by a majority vote of its members, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a plan to create an independent Jewish state in the region of modern Israel. Then, on 14 May 1948, the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel was proclaimed.
So Israel was born; or re-born. It is the only Jewish majority state in the world, which is something that hasn’t existed for over 2500 years. So:
- How did it happen?
- Why then, and not previously?
- What happened when the State was proclaimed?
- What, broadly, has happened over the following 70 years?
- Where is it going?
- What is its future?
These questions are considered by Geoff Russell.
