Why is this answer correct?
The legal basis was the United Nations partition plan of 1947, Resolution 181. The Zionist Congress demanded a Jewish state but did not establish it under international law. The German Federal Government did not yet exist in 1948, and a proposal by the USSR was not the basis.
UN Resolution 181 of 1947.
