Question

why did arab leaders reject the 1947 united nations partition plan?it gave a larger share of land to the jewish state despite a smaller population.it gave less land to the jewish state and more land to the british government.it allowed the british government to keep full control of the region of palestine.it gave the majority of land to the arab state and united the region of palestine.

Explanation:

The 1947 UN Partition Plan allocated approximately 56% of Mandatory Palestine to the proposed Jewish state, while Arab residents made up the majority of the population (around two-thirds) at that time. Arab leaders opposed the plan primarily because this land allocation was seen as unfair, prioritizing the Jewish state's territorial share over the demographic majority. The other options are factually incorrect: the plan did not favor British control, give less land to the Jewish state, or give the majority of land to the Arab state.

Answer:

A. It gave a larger share of land to the Jewish state despite a smaller population.
