Revisiting Moscow’s support for the establishment of Israel / Yu, Xiao; Ji, Zeng   Journal Article
Yu, Xiao Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Examination of recently declassified documents in the Russian and Israeli archives reveals that Moscow’s support for the establishment of the state of Israel was largely designed to sustain the World War II cooperation with Washington, which also supported the creation of a Jewish state. With the advent of the Cold War, the Soviets maintained their support due to the belief that the US’s immersion in the regional tensions attending Israel’s continued existence would greatly relieve its military pressure on the Soviet Union in Europe.

Success of the Zionist strategy vis-a-vis UNSCOP / Ben-Dror, Elad   Journal Article
Ben-Dror, Elad Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The article examines the successful political strategies employed by Zionist diplomacy in the summer of 1947 vis-à-vis UNSCOP (the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine). The committee's recommendation of partition and the creation of a Jewish state on the majority of the territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River served as the basis for the UN partition resolution of 29 November 1947.The Zionist leaders made UNSCOP aware of their willingness to accept partition, but conditioned this on enlarging the territory of the future state. In this regard, the climax of their campaign, recounted in the article, was a secret and informal meeting between the senior echelons of the Jewish Agency and most members of UNSCOP on 14 July, an event that has been missed by historical research. The article describes the crucial influence of the Zionist message when UNSCOP came to formulate its conclusions and contributes to a better understanding of the process that led UNSCOP to its final recommendations.
