The independence of the State of Israel was declared. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, at the home of Meir Dizengoff, Tel Aviv Mayor on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv, David Ben-Gurion reads the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel and thus declares the establishment of the Jewish state.
Today, 75 years later, Israel is commonly called the nation of startups, thanks to the technological achievements. However, it can be stated with certainty that the establishment of State of Israel in itself is the biggest and most important startup of our time.
