Answer:
In 1948 the American government recognized the creation of the State of Israel. This ignited Arab resentment toward the United States.
Explanation:
The State of Israel was not officialized and recognized as a country until 1948 - it was the protagonist of intense conflict episodes that occurred in the Middle East region in the second half of the twentieth century, mainly due to the historical conflict with the Muslim countries surrounding its territory.
When the United States recognized Israel as a sovereign nation and owner of its designated territory, it provoked discontent and resentment from Arabs who believed that Israel was not the rightful owner of that territory.
