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:

Brief Explanations

The 1947 UN Partition Plan allocated approximately 55% of Mandatory Palestine to the proposed Jewish state, while Jewish people made up roughly 33% of the total population at the time. Arab leaders opposed this as they viewed the land allocation as disproportionate to the Jewish population share, and also rejected the division of the territory they considered Arab land. The other options are factually incorrect: the plan did not give more land to Britain, leave Britain in full control, or give the majority of land to the Arab state.

Answer:

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