Title:The British Mandate For Palestine in FULL

City: NO COMPROMISEState:
Mandate for Palestine [July 24, 1922]
The Mandate for Palestine was granted to Britain by the Principle Allied Powers of World War I. It constituted an elaboration of what the San Remo Resolution intended to be done concerning the newly-created mandated state of Palestine. It consisted of 28 articles, all of which applied to the Jewish National Home, not merely those articles which had an obvious Zionist character. The essential point was the responsibility placed upon Britain not only to use its ?best endeavours? to establish a Jewish State (euphemistically called the Jewish National Home), but also to actually ?secure? its achievement. The Mandate was confirmed by the Council of the League of Nations on July 24, 1922 and accepted in all by 52 nations, including the United States.
