How did Israel become a country?

This video explores the origins of Israel and the ongoing conflict it faces. Israel's history goes back to Abraham, considered the father of Judaism. Over centuries, the land saw various rulers, including the Romans, Persians, and Ottomans. The Zionist movement aimed to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine, leading to Jewish immigration. The Balfour Declaration in 1917 supported this idea. The United Nations proposed a partition plan in 1947, but it was not accepted by Arabs. In May 1948, Israel declared independence, leading to conflicts with neighboring Palestine and Arab countries.
