It gave a larger share of land to the Jewish state despite a smaller population.

Arab leaders rejected the 1947 UN partition plan because it allocated roughly 55% of Palestine to a Jewish state even though Jews were a minority of the population and Arabs owned/inhabited much of the land. They viewed the plan as unjust, imposed by outside powers, and opposed the creation of a Jewish state on what they considered Arab land.
