Answer:
B. The United States was the first to acknowledge Israel as an independent nation.
C. The Arab-Israeli War began when Israel declared its independence.
E. Disagreements and conflict blocked the two-state solution that the United Nations had proposed.
Explanation:
The State of Israel is a country in Western Asia that was created following the Partition for Palestine in 1947. This plan was initiated by the United Nations in an attempt to create independent Arab and Jewish states and an internationalized Jerusalem. The Jewish Agency declared the independence of Isreal in 1948 (even though Arab leaders rejected it), and the United States was the first one to acknowledge Israel as an independent nation. Moreover, this declaration of independence was one of the reasons for the Arab-Israeli War. The declaration was also followed by a series of disagreements and conflicts that blocked the two-state solution that the UN had proposed.
