The land of Israel was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here their spiritual, religious and national identity
was formed. In their exile from the land of Israel
the Jews remained faithful to it in all the countries of their
dispersal, never ceasing
to hope and pray for the restoration of their national freedom. Therefore by virtue of
the natural and historic right of
the Jewish people to be a nation as other nations, and of the Resolution of the
General Assembly of the United
Nations, we hereby proclaim the establishment of the Jewish nation in
Palestine, to be called the State of Israel.
