Partition Plan of 1947 → (Resolution 181)
According to the United Nations, the plan behind the Partition Plan of 1947 was to separate Palestine into three states. There would be an Arab State, a Jewish State and the City of Jerusalem, under the control of the United Nations' administration, which is indicated in the image above.
Additionally, as stated by numerous sources, the plan never went through, as both Palestinians and the surrounding Arab states did not like this plan and instead rejected it.
Balfour Declaration
As stated by the United Nations, Palestine, which used to be a part of the Ottoman Territories, was placed under the control of the British in 1921. Therefore, due to the Balfour Declaration, a letter addressed to Lord Rothschild, “a leader of the Anglo-Jewish community,” the British communicated that they believed Palestine should be a home for the Jewish people.
According to Britannica, the Oslo Accords were a set of agreements between the Palestinian Liberation Organization and Israel to propose a "two-state solution." This means that the land would be separated for both the Palestinians and the Israelis.
