creation of israel, 1948. on may 14, 1948, david ben-gurion, the head of the jewish agency, proclaimed the establishment of the state of israel. u.s. president harry s. truman recognized the new nation on the same day.

this is what i find out on the internet but since u r in college you should be able to do a 500 word essay. its real easy all you got to do is look up history on israel and then what ever you find make sure to add the footnote - like who wrote it and where. or you can kind of make it like a story.

good luck
