Answer
Brief Explanations:
On May 14, 1948, Israel declared state - hood. Immediately after, on May 15, 1948, Arab states launched military attacks, starting the first Arab - Israeli war. The UN's 1947 partition plan was a precursor but not the immediate trigger. The founding of Zionism and the Balfour Declaration were long - term factors in the Zionist movement but not the direct cause of the first armed conflict.
Answer:
the declaration of statehood by Israel in 1948
