Final+Tweaks+to+Proposal

In September 1927 the Ad Hoc Committee met, with all members of the United Nations present, to consider the two UNSCOP proposals. Between September and November of that year, thirty four meetings were held and on November 25, 1947, the committee passed an amended version of the UNSCOP majority partition proposal. These amendments slightly altered the boundaries and populations of both the Arab and Jewish states. The Arab population of the Jewish state was to be reduced and Jaffa was to become an Arab enclave in the Jewish State. Ultimately, the Arab state was to contain 4,500 square miles and contain about 800,000 Arabs and 10,000 Jews and the Jewish state was to occupy 5,500 square miles and contain 538,000 Jews and 397,000 Arabs.
