The Balfour Declaration, issued by the British cabinet on November 2, 1917, committed Britain to support the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine. It was a significant document linking nationality to territory. The declaration was supported by international allies, including France and the United States, and received global recognition. However, it faced opposition from Palestinians, who rejected Jewish rights to the land. The declaration is not the birth certificate of Israel, but it laid the groundwork for its eventual establishment. The British partially fulfilled their promise, while the Jewish people took further actions to realize it.
