Two assumptions were made: "That an Arab state was about to be established alongside the Jewish one in keeping with the UN’s partition resolution the year before, and that the Jewish state would include a large Arab minority whose feelings needed to be taken into account".
Fixéronse dúas asuncións: "Que o Estado árabe ía establecerse ao carón do xudeu seguindo o plan de partición da ONU do ano anterior, e que o Estado xudeu incluiría unha gran minoría árabe cuxos sentimentos debían ser tidos en conta".
