You're talking 1947? The wiki article differs unless I'm misunderstanding you.
It's been a while since I've read about this, so I genuinely may be misremembering. Apologies if so!

Hmm. I remember reading on it differently. It may have been that whatever account I read emphasized the hardliners. I'll have to look into it later, try to figure out if it was just a misfire in my brain or if there's some basis to what I thought.
I mean the hardliners were definitely opposed, and Ben Gurion had misgivings.
