Summary

Partition of Palestine and support for Israel against Syria’s proposal came from the Soviet Union, which had adopted a stance of advocating for a Jewish state in Palestine. The Soviet Union had long opposed Zionism on the rationale that it drew the attention of the working class away from a struggle against capitalism. In the war years, however, the Zionist Organization had lobbied Soviet officials, stressing an ideological affinity as reflected in collectivized agriculture, and a shared aim of removing Britain from a role in Palestine. When the General Assembly took up the issue of Palestine in Autumn 1947, the Soviet Union advocated partition. It opposed the subsequent effort by the United States to set up a trusteeship in place of a partition.
