Jorge García Granados, a Guatemalan diplomat and politician, stands as a significant figure in the creation of the state of Israel. His contributions went beyond a single vote:

UNSCOP Membership and Advocacy: Granados wasn't just a delegate at the UN; he was a member of the UN Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP). This committee was tasked with investigating the situation in Palestine and proposing solutions. Granados' firsthand experience with the complexities of the region undoubtedly informed his strong support for the partition plan.
Championing Partition: Impacted by the arguments of Chaim Weizmann, the leader of the Zionist movement, Granados became a vocal advocate for the partition plan. He wasn't just persuaded; he actively lobbied other Latin American countries, playing a crucial role in garnering their support for a two-state solution. His vote, cast first in the UN General Assembly, became a symbolic gesture for the resolution's approval.
Lasting Ties with Israel: Granados' commitment to Israel extended beyond the initial partition vote. Guatemala, under his influence, became the first country to open an embassy in Jerusalem, a city with significant importance for both Israelis and Palestinians. Granados himself served as the first ambassador, solidifying Guatemala's early recognition of the newly formed state [Wikipedia].
Documenting History: Recognizing the historical significance of the events he witnessed, Granados penned a book titled "The Birth of Israel: The Drama as I Saw It." This book offered valuable insights into the deliberations and challenges surrounding the creation of Israel [Wikipedia].

Granados' legacy is a testament to his diplomatic skills, his belief in peaceful solutions, and his unwavering support for a Jewish homeland. Even today, his actions are remembered and celebrated in Israel, with streets named after him in Jerusalem and Ramat-Gan.
