    The UN drew up a two state partition but the muslims boycotted the talks. Then as soon as the plan went into effect, war broke out with the surrounding countries coming to the muslims’ aid.

    Both sides were planning on trying to conquer most/any of the territory for themselves. But to state the initial partition plan was drawn up without any input from the inhabitants would be a lie.

    The population at that time was around 1/3 - 2/3. After the jewish side won the initial battles a lot of foreign zionists started emigrating into the territory.
