Israel (Cherry, Plum, and Chrysanthemum)

The State of Israel (Hebrew: מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל, Medīnat Yisrā'el) is a country in the Middle East comprised by five administrative districts: Northeast, Haifa, Tel Aviv, Negev and West Jerusalem. Northeast District bordered with Syria to the east, with Palestine to the west and south, and with Lebanon to the north. Haifa bordered mostly with Palestine to the east and Mediterranean Sea to the west. Negev bordered with Palestine to the north and northwest, with Egypt to the west, and Jordan to the east.

History
In 1947, the United Nations created the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) to find a 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. On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of State of Israel that effective governed over Jewish-occupied territories of British Mandate of Palestine.

The following day, the armies of four Arab countries: Egypt, Syria, Transjordan and Iraq, entered what had been Mandatory Palestine, launching the 1948 War on Palestine. After huge advances on both sides, and massive losses among civilians in both sides, the war eventually reached a stalemate. The Israeli and Palestinian 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.
