This week, Israel celebrates 70 years with a reenactment of Partition Plan vote.
Representatives of the 33 countries who voted 'yes' for the establishment of a Jewish state in 1947 reenact the vote during a special event at the Queens Museum, where the original vote took place; US VP Pence, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin will be in attendance alongside 700 other guests.
After the vote, dancers will break into the Hora in celebration, as the Jewish residents in the Land of Israel did after the original vote, and well-known Israeli singer Ninet will perform "Jerusalem of Gold" and Israel's national anthem "HaTikvah."
The Israeli celebration will be held before the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, which is held every year on November 29, when the Palestinians normally pass a series of anti-Israeli resolutions.
"The vote on November 29 is a constitutive event in our annals, and we are proud to celebrate it with our many friends from around the world," Israeli Ambassador Danon said. "Precisely because of Palestinian attempts to undermine our right to exist, we will display the great support Israel enjoys around the world and celebrate 70 years of independence and prosperity."
