Luego del estallido de la violencia entre las comunidades, el comité británico investigativo sugiere la partición de Palestina, buscando crear dos estados para los pueblos.

El muftí se opone al estado de mayoría árabe en diez años contrario a los deseos de una decena de líderes cruciales de Palestina. El muftí no quiere la presencia política de los judíos en Palestina de ningún modo.

Con más ofertas de ventas árabes que fondos para hacer compras, los líderes sionistas deciden sobre prioridades estratégicas y designan áreas alrededor de Haifa, la ruta Jerusalén-Jaffa, y Galilea cerca de los nacimientos de agua del Río Jordán.

La Declaración recuenta la conexión judía a la tierra de Israel, el nacimiento del sionismo, y el reconocimiento de la legitimidad de un estado judío por parte de la ONU. También promete que el estado será una democracia para todos sus ciudadanos.

El Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Gran Bretaña promete instalar un Hogar Nacional Judío en Palestina sin causar daño a las poblaciones no-judías, o a los judíos que se encuentran en otros lugares quienes querrían apoyar el hogar judío.

Los orígenes del movimiento sionista son a menudo considerados sinónimo de la vida y la época de Theodor Herzl (1860-1904). A pesar de su muerte a una edad relativamente temprana, sus ideas se mantuvieron vivas.

Whether you hate or love President Trump, don’t let it blind you from the meaning of the words he utters, or the tweets he sends. Regardless of your emotions or strong political leanings, his words are decisively important; he is President of the United States.

President Trump’s proclamation to “officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel” breaks precedent. In doing so, he incurs bipartisan support in the US congress, but a flurry of criticism from analysts, diplomats and foreign leaders. In his remarks, Trump rebukes claims that he disqualified the US as a “reliable mediator” in future Palestinian-Israeli negotiations.

As part of the preparations for the Fall 1991 Madrid Peace Conference, US Secretary of State James Baker drafted a memorandum of agreement between the US and Israel regarding the particulars of resuming the Arab-Israeli peace process. He opens by reiterating that the intention of the negotiations is to achieve a regional peace agreement based on UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338.

The 1937 plan to partition Palestine was never implemented. It did, however, remain a workable political option for resolving the conflict between Arabs and Zionists. Britain needed to placate Arab state opposition to Zionism, so it refrained from actively revisiting the partition plan.
