Balfour declaration The name given to Britain's pledge to support the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine. It was contained in a letter of 2 November 1917 from Arthur
Balfour to the leading British
Zionist, Lord Rothschild. The letter pledged that such a home should be established ‘without prejudice to the civil and religious rights of the non-Jewish people [Arabs]’ in
Palestine. This statement represented a fundamental contradiction in British policy because at the same time, Britain had pledged to recognize the leaders of the
Arab Revolt as rulers of Palestine. Nevertheless, the Balfour Declaration was confirmed by the Allies, and became the basis of Britain's
Mandate for Palestine, granted by the
League of Nations in 1920. Subsequent attempts to reconcile the Balfour Declaration with pledges to the Arabs were at the root of Britain's future problems in Palestine.
