These short clips and images below show the memorial which stands near the Einstein Park of north Netanya near Highway 2. The statue was masterminded by Machal board member Jerry Klinger and designed by sculpture Sam Philip.
The ceremony took place on 29th November 2022 with the Mayor of Netanya, head of the World Zionist Organisation and members of the diplomatic corps.
On November 29, 1947, the UN General Assembly voted in favor of a resolution that adopted the plan for partitioning Eretz Israel. This resolution led, in effect, to the declaration of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948.
The vote in the UN General Assembly was conducted following the recommendation of a majority of the members of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP). UNSCOP was appointed by the UN General Assembly on April 28, 1947, after the British government returned the Mandate for Palestine to the United Nations. The UN committee submitted its recommendations ahead of the UN General Assembly Session scheduled for the fall of that year. For more information
