The story of Israel does not begin in 1948 with its independence: it goes back 2,500 years to the destruction of the first Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem in 587 BC, and the scattering of the Jewish people, called the Diaspora; the Jewish people were left without a country. Hoever, the Modern state of Israel was created in 1948.
Since the Diaspora, there have been many attempts to make a homeland for the Jewish people. In the 1880s, this desire for the nation became a movement called Zionism. Jews from all over the world began to come to the area, then taken care of by the British Government. World War II and the Holocaust killed most of the jews in Europe.
After that, the Zionist movement asked Great Britain and the U.N to split the area into Arab and Jewish States. They were succesful, and the country was split, On May 14th, 1948, the Israelis under the leadership of David Ben-Gurion declared independence for the new Jewish state.

Israel the state was created in 1948. However, the Bible and other ancient texts refer to a nation of Israel. Not quite the same thing, though.

Israel was created in 1948, after UN Resolution 181 partitioned the territory of the British Mandate for Palestine into two states for Jews and Palestinian Arabs.
