The correct option is C
Truman made the decision to recognize the creation of the State of Israel ignoring the statements of Secretary of State George Marshall, who feared that this could damage relations with Arab states. At a meeting in the White House on November 10, 1945, he told the envoys to Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but I have to answer hundreds of thousands who are anxious for the success of the Zionism: I do not have hundreds of thousands of Arabs among my constituents. "
Ignoring the warnings of Arabs, British, and the State Department that feared Jewish immigration to Palestine and that a Jewish state could destabilize the Middle East, Truman and Congress continued to support the creation of a home for the Jewish people. US policymakers between 1947 and 1948 agreed that the main objective of foreign policy was to contain communism, as happened in the Cold War. From the perspective of Washington, Palestine was secondary in the goal of protecting the "Northern Level" of Greece, Turkey, and Iran from communism, as promised in the Truman Doctrine. Truman established three objectives for the region: a peaceful solution, avoiding the need to send US troops, and avoiding Soviet penetration.
