1948

April 6-12
The Actions Committee convenes in Tel Aviv, with representatives from Eretz Israel and from abroad coming despite the war. A resolution is passed to establish the institutions of the nascent state, which will come into being in mid-May when the British evacuate Palestine. Heading the State's institutions are the People's Council (Moetet haAm), a legislative body consisting of 37 members, and the People's Administration (Minhelet haAm), consisting of 13 members.
