67. Jerusalem in Arab hands

This did not make the Jews of Palestine happy. Jews were no longer allowed to visit their holiest site, the "Western Wall" of the ancient Temple. But the leaders of the Jewish community did accept Partition, if not there would not be an Israel today. With hostile Palestinians, hostile to a Jewish state and the Jews, of course it was difficult to compromise on anything. And yes, Israel was attacked the day following the UN announcement of partition.
