On 29 November 1947, the United Nations adopted a resolution on the partition of Palestine. On 14 May 1948, the State of Israel was proclaimed. Remember - at this time the UN is mainly Anglo-American. At that time, the State of Israel covered an area of more than "15,000 square kilometers". Here are the highlights:
In the 1947 United Nations Resolution on the Partition of Palestine, the State of Israel accounted for 55% or 14,477 square kilometers of Palestine, 45% or 11,655 square kilometers of Palestine, and Jerusalem was temporarily entrusted by the United Nations to avoid conflict.
1: After the first Middle East war in 1948, Israel effectively controlled an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers.
2: The Second Middle East War in 1956 was a joint British and French military operation against Egypt with Israel in order to seize control of the Suez Canal. The military adventures of Britain and France ended in failure, and only Israel achieved its goals to some extent.
3: During the Third Middle East War in 1967, Israel invaded the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Arab Quarter of Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula. It totals more than 65,000 square kilometers of land. Large numbers of Palestine refugees have been driven from their homes.

By 1986, Israel effectively controlled an area of about 28,000 square kilometres. Population 4.27 million (1986, excluding Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza Strip), of which 82.5% are Jews and 13.5% Arabs.

Population 4.27 million (1986, excluding Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza Strip), of which 82.5% are Jews and 13.5% Arabs. The population of Israel is now 8.842 million, the land area: 25,740 square kilometers, and the active army: 172,000.
For 76 years from 1949 to the present, Israel has encroached on most of the Palestinian territory. The open-air prison Gaza is the spiritual pillar of the Palestinian people. No one knows how long Gaza will last
