In 1947, two Security Council members, the United States and the Soviet Union, reached agreement that Palestine was to be divided. In November, a UN Special Committee on Palestine presented a report to the General Assembly, with a majority advocating division, but a minority advocating a unitary state based on democracy. A two-thirds majority vote was necessary for partition to be supported by the United Nations. After intense pressure by USA and USSR, this two-thirds majority was achieved.

After WWII, the United Nations partitioned "Palestine" into "Israel" and "Trans-Jordan", or the "land across the Jordan River".
