1922

1922: Surprised and somewhat cautious of the demands of the Arab delegation, in June, Britain issues the famous “White Paper”, made up of nine documents which state: “Great Britain did not contemplate that Palestine as a whole should be converted into a Jewish National Home, but that such a Home should be founded in Palestine.” But another one of these documents outlines Britain’s intent to uphold the 1917 Balfour Declaration. In July, the League of Nations officially approves the Mandate for Palestine, which would ensure Balfour Declaration comes to fruition.
