This map illustrates how mandated Palestine was proposed to be divided into a Jewish and an Arab state, including the highlands of the West Bank and the Gaza area. It highlights the recommended boundaries under UN Resolution 181, showing proposed state zones, Jerusalem as an international corpus separatum, and how the West Bank’s future status was envisioned at the time. This source is valuable for research on United Nations Security Council Resolution 181, Palestinian land rights, Palestinian statehood, Israeli settlements, and Israeli expansionism.
