Remembering the Zionists’ assassination of UN Palestine mediator Count Bernadotte
Bernadotte was most notably known for securing the release of thousands of prisoners from Nazi concentration camps during World War II
What: Assassination of Swedish diplomat Count Folke Bernadotte
Where: Jerusalem, Palestine
When: 17 September 1948
What happened?
In May 1948, as the war raged between the military forces of the budding Zionist state and the various Arab armies, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) appointed as UN mediator in Palestine, a Swedish diplomat named Count Folke Bernadotte.
As a member of Sweden’s royal family, Bernadotte had served as a diplomat during the Second World War Two, helping to free tens of thousands of prisoners held in Nazi Germany and having attempted to negotiate an armistice between the Nazis and the Allies.
He took that diplomatic experience into the conflict over the creation of the state of Israel on the land of Palestine in the late 1940s, conducting mediation efforts and helping to negotiate an initial truce in the conflict before that broke down shortly after.
His most notable contribution, however, was the peace plan he worked on during the summer of 1948, following his appointment as UN mediator, in which he first called for the establishment of a union between Transjordan (currently Jordan) and British Mandatory Palestine, operating with certain areas allocated to Jews or Palestinians.
Examples of that plan included Palestinians controlling territories in the Naqab – or Negev – desert, while the Galilee area would be controlled by the Jews. Some areas were to be freely accessible to both, such as Haifa and its port and the airport at Lod, now called Ben-Gurion Airport. As for Jerusalem, it would be an international city controlled by the UN.
This was rejected by all sides and prompted the conflict to resume once the truce’s validity ceased.

In 2013 J.Hopkins carried out genetic testing in Palestine and Isreal and came up with the conclusion that 80% of Palestinians are related to ancient Hebrews, however 97.5% of Judaics living in Israel are not related.
