The United Nations plan for the Palestine called for the creation of two states, one Arab and one Jewish, in the mandate.

Option: (D)

Explanation:

Owing to the consistent and ongoing conflicts between the Jews from Israel and the Arabs from the Arab countries neighboring Israel, the United Nations decided to mediate by making a plan through which they would divide Palestine (the land that was causing the conflict between the two communities) into two different states. The plan enumerated the idea of dividing Palestine into two parts, out of which one would be given to Jews, and the other would be given to Arabs. The plan was not accepted by either of the two.
