Palestine (Cherry, Plum, and Chrysanthemum)

The State of Palestine (Arabic: دولة فلسطين‎ Dawlat Filasṭin) is a country in the Middle East comprised of three administrative districts: Gaza, West Bank and Galilee. Galilee separated as an enclave and bordered with Lebanon in the north and Israel to the west, north and east while Gaza bordered with Egypt to the south and Israel to the north, east and southeast and West Bank with Jordan to the east and Israel to the north and south.

History
In 1947, the United Nations created the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) to find an quick solution to the Palestine question, which the British had handed over to the UN. The majority of the members of UNSCOP proposed the recommendations for the UN General Assembly which on 29 November 1947 adopted a resolution recommending the adoption and implementation of the Partition Plan, based substantially on those proposals as Resolution 181(II).

Jewish leaders of the Jewish agency accepted parts of the plan, while Arab leaders refused it. Large-scale fighting soon broke out between the Jews and the Arabs. King Abdullah I of Jordan met with a delegation headed by Golda Meir to negotiate terms for accepting the partition plan, but rejected its proposal that Jordan remain neutral. Indeed, the king knew that the nascent Palestinian state would soon be absorbed by its Arab neighbors, and therefore had a vested interest in being party to the imminent war. King Abdullah I later assassinated in November 3, 1948 by al-Husayni ‘s agents to warn Jordan for not annexing West Bank as its own territory.

The All-Palestine Government established in Gaza with Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni as its President in September 1948. On October 1, 1948, the government declared an independent Palestinian state in all of Palestine region with Jerusalem as its capital. This government was soon recognized by Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.

By November 1948, the Palestinian forces already occupied most of Palestine except the area around Tel Aviv, known as Jaffa Perimeter. But, the situation quickly altered in March 1949 where the Israeli forces able to push the Palestinian and Arab forces as far as eastern West Bank. The All-Palestine government in Gaza temporarily evacuated to Alexandria.

In September 1949, Lebanese Army, under the new government of Syrian Social Nationalist Party, invaded the northern part of Palestine that already controlled by Israeli forces. Portugal, Spain and Japan, warned Antun Saadeh's government about Lebanese involvement in the Palestine Crisis. But, Lebanon refused because Saadeh wanted a secular Palestinian state and driven the Jewish forces "further into the deep of Red Sea", to secure the stability of Lebanon southern borders from future Zionist threats.

As the Israeli military strategy shifted to north, Arab forces in West Bank moved to Bi’r as-Sab’, directly toward Gaza Strip in December 1949. That move was successfully united separate All-Palestine Government in West Bank and Gaza and alienated many Israeli forces in Negev. The Vice-President of Japan, Katobushi Toshio, sent a cablegram to Prime Minister Saadeh in January 3, 1950, tried to persuade the Lebanese government to pull off their troops from Galilee. Japan and other members of Solidarity of the Nations wanted Lebanon for not involved on the crisis and pressed the Arab forces to accept 1947 Partition Plan.

The stalemate reached by both conflicted sides in March 1950. The Israeli and All-Palestine government signed an armistice in April 3, 1950 that stated both governments will governed effectively in the area intended for them according to 1947 Partition Plan. The UN-sponsored Rome Conference held from 7 to 28 of July 1950 and attended by the delegation from the Israeli government, the All-Palestine government, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, the Arab League, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon.

The Conference decided the State of Israel would made up by the region intended for a Jewish state as stated in 1947 Partition Plan while the State of Palestine by the region intended for an Arab state with minor border modifications. Jerusalem would divided into two areas: East Jerusalem incorporated into Palestine and West Jerusalem under Israeli administration.
