Is it true that the Holocaust led directly to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948?
Partly. One source states the Holocaust triggered Jewish refugee migration to Mandatory Palestine and the nascent State of Israel, and another says Israel's establishment was shaped by the Holocaust alongside decolonization and nationalist movements. A third source traces the push for a Jewish homeland to the 1917 Balfour Declaration and pre-Holocaust immigration, so the evidence only partially addresses whether the Holocaust directly caused Israel's creation.
