Balfour Declaration
In 1917 the British government, hoping to gain Jewish support for WWI, issued the Balfour Declaration, which expressed Britain's support for the establishment of a national home for the Jews in Palestine.
The Zionist movement saw the Declaration as an important achievement in promoting Jewish settlement in Palestine.
The British and French planned on taking control of the area after the defeat of the Turks.
They had also made promises to support Arab independence in return for Arab support of British forces against the Ottomans.
