Israel became a nation on May 14, 1948, when David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel in Tel Aviv, following the United Nations General Assembly's adoption of Resolution 181 on November 29, 1947, which proposed a partition plan for Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. The declaration came into effect at midnight, when the British Mandate for Palestine officially ended.
