The international recognition of Israel refers to the diplomatic recognition of the State of Israel, which was established by the Israeli Declaration of Independence on 14 May 1948. 160 of the 192 other UN member states (83%) currently recognize Israel.

History

UN General Assembly Resolution 181 (II), Annex A: Plan of Partition with Economic Union

On 29 November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution recommending a plan to partition Mandatory Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish state with a common currency, common market and joint coordinating political authorities. Jerusalem was to become an international city. David Ben-Gurion accepted the partition and declared the establishment of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel to be known as the State of Israel.[1] Neighbouring Arab States were opposed to any partition of Palestine. The next day, a coalition of Arab countries declared war on Israel and the 1948 Arab–Israeli War began. In the evening just before the end of the British Mandate for Palestine which was to terminate at midnight on 14/15 May 1948,[2] In a cablegram[3] the Arab League maintained:-

  • the Arab states find themselves compelled to intervene in order restore law and order and to check further bloodshed
  • the Mandate over Palestine has come to an end, leaving no legally constituted authority
  • the only solution of the Palestine problem is the establishment of a unitary Palestinian state.

Over the next few days, the surrounding countries declared war on Israel and the armies of Egypt, Trans-Jordan, Iraq, and Syria attacked the newly created state of Israel.

On the declaration of independence, a Provisional government of Israel was established; and while the 1948 Arab–Israeli War was still in progress, the Provisional government was promptly recognised by the United States as the de facto authority of Israel,[4][5] followed by Iran (which had voted against the UN partition plan), Guatemala, Iceland, Nicaragua, Romania, and Uruguay. The Soviet Union was the first country to recognise Israel de jure on 17 May 1948,[6] followed by Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Ireland, and South Africa.[citation needed] The United States extended de jure recognition after the first Israeli election,[7] on 31 January 1949.[8]

On 15 May 1948, one day after the declaration of its establishment, Israel applied for membership of the United Nations, but the application was not acted on by the Security Council. Israel's second application was rejected by the Security Council on 17 December 1948 by a 5 to 1 vote, with 5 abstentions. Syria was the sole negative vote; the U.S., Argentina, Colombia, the Soviet Union and Ukraine voted in favor; and Belgium, Britain, Canada, China and France abstained. The application was renewed in 1949, after the Israeli elections. The Security Council on 4 March 1949 voted 9 to 1 in favour of membership, with Egypt voting no and Great Britain abstaining.[9]

On 11 May, the General Assembly by the requisite two-thirds majority approved the application to admit Israel to the UN by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 273.[10][11] The vote in the General Assembly was 37 to 12, with 9 abstentions.[13]

From 1948 to the late 1960s, Israel established diplomatic relations with almost all countries of Western Europe, North and South America, as well as much of Africa. Some states recognise Israel as a state, but have no diplomatic relations.[citation needed]

In the wake of the Six-Day War, to put additional diplomatic and military pressure on Israel, Arab oil-producing countries threatened to impose an oil embargo on countries with international relations with Israel. As a result, many African and Asian countries broke ties with Israel. On 1 September 1967, the eight members of the Arab League issued the Khartoum Resolution, which included a pledge not to recognise Israel. Similar pressure was exerted after the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. Several countries once had diplomatic relations with Israel, but have since broken or suspended them (Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela in Latin America; Mauritania in the Arab League; Chad, Guinea, Mali and Niger in non-Arab Africa; and Iran until the Islamic revolution).

Following Israel's recognition of and entering into negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) many African, Asian and even Arab countries restored diplomatic relations with Israel. The Vatican entered into diplomatic relations with Israel in 1994. Some[which?] countries broke or suspended relations as a result of the 2006 Israeli-Lebanese War and the blockade of the Gaza Strip.[citation needed]

At present, a total of 32 United Nations member states do not recognise the State of Israel: 18 of the 22 members of the Arab League: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen; a further 11 members of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Chad, Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mali, Niger, and Pakistan. Other countries which do not recognise Israel include Bhutan, Cuba, and North Korea.[14] in 2002, the Arab League proposed the recognition of Israel by Arab countries as part of the resolution of the Palestine-Israel conflict in the Arab Peace Initiative.

Some[which?] countries that do not recognise Israel have also questioned the legitimacy of Israel.[citation needed] Some do not accept Israeli passports and some also do not accept passports of other countries whose holder has an Israeli visa endorsed in it.[citation needed]
