Answer
- A a resolution of the United Nations
Explanation
The basis for the founding of Israel was the United Nations partition plan: on 29 November 1947 the UN General Assembly decided with Resolution 181 to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state. The State of Israel was proclaimed on 14 May 1948. The Zionist congresses had prepared the idea of a Jewish state, but it was not legally founded by them.
