State of Israel Proclaimed.
The British mandate to govern the Holy Land expired on Friday, May 14, 1948, by decree of a United Nations resolution passed six months earlier endorsing the establishment of a Jewish state in the biblical homeland of the Jewish people. That afternoon, the state of Israel was proclaimed in Tel Aviv. The date is celebrated in Israel as the Israeli "Independence Day".
