UN partition of Palestine and Israel’s shifting borders: Explainer

In 1947, the UN adopted Resolution 181, which called for the partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states, handing over about 55 percent of the land to Jews. Arabs were granted 45 percent of the land, while Jerusalem was declared a separate internationalised territory.

Al Jazeera’s Colin Baker reports on how Israel's borders have changed since then.
