WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Arab Higher Committee, the Arab League and other Arab leaders and governments rejected it and indicated an unwillingness to accept any form of territorial division, arguing that it violated the principles of national self-determination in the UN Charter which granted people the right to decide their own destiny.

Detailed explanation-2: -The United Nations resolution sparked conflict between Jewish and Arab groups within Palestine. Fighting began with attacks by irregular bands of Palestinian Arabs attached to local units of the Arab Liberation Army composed of volunteers from Palestine and neighboring Arab countries.

Detailed explanation-3: -After denouncing it in 1967, Syria “conditionally” accepted the resolution in March 1972. Syria formally accepted UN Security Council Resolution 338, the cease-fire at the end of the Yom Kippur War (in 1973), which embraced Resolution 242.

Detailed explanation-4: -Resolution 181 was emphatically rejected by the local Arab population and the Arab States. Denying the Jewish people’s right to a state of their own, the Arab countries openly declared their intention of preventing the creation of the Jewish State by all means.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Arab League opposed the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947. On 15 May 1948, the then seven Arab League members coordinated an invasion of what was by then the former British Mandate, marking the start of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
