The United Nations Acting Mediator reported to the General Assembly of the U.N.:

“The Arab States had forcefully opposed the existence of a Jewish State in Palestine in direct opposition to the wishes of two-thirds of the members of the Assembly; nevertheless, their armed intervention had proved useless … The (Mediator’s) report was based solely on the fact that the Arab States has no right to resort to force and that the United Nations should exert its authority to prevent such abuse of force.”
