Israel was founded on May 14, 1948? The distant ancestors of the Israelis were the Hebrews, a branch of the ancient Semitic people.
Settlement in Palestine began in the 12th century BC. The Roman Empire ruled Palestine in 63 B.C., and most Jews were forced to wander the world; in the late 19th century, Britain, the United States and the Jewish bourgeoisie advocated "Zionism".
The World Zionist Organization was founded in 1897, and after the British occupation of Palestine in 1917, it stated that Britain was "in favor of the establishment of a national home for the Jews in Palestine".
In July 1922, the League of Nations adopted the British proposal for a "Jewish national home" in Palestine. This was followed by an influx of Jews from all over the world into Palestine.
On November 29, 1947, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted a resolution to establish an Arab State and a Jewish State in Palestine, and on May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was formally established.

Israel initially referred to as a national title, and the earliest available record dates from 1211 BC. 1211. For more than 3,000 years, Jews have viewed the Land of Israel as the center of their national and spiritual life, calling it the "Holy Land" or "Promised Land". Israel has a special significance in Judaism, including the Temple ruins and associated religious rituals, which are an important foundation of the modern Jewish tradition.
Israel means "one who wrestles with God," and comes from the Biblical story of Jacob, the ancestor of the Jews, who wrestled with God (an angel) and won, and God (the angel) changed Jacob's name to Israel. Jacob gave birth to twelve tribes.
In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution to establish an Arab state and a Jewish state in Palestine, and on May 14, 1948, Israel was formally established. Since then, there have been four wars in the Middle East with Arab countries, and the area under its actual control has been expanding.
