jan 1, 1937 - Peel Commission

Description:

After investigating the causes of the Arab Revolt, the British Peel Commission concluded that the conflict between Arab and Jewish national movements could not be resolved within a single political framework. It proposed partitioning Mandatory Palestine (Eretz Israel) into separate Jewish and Arab states, marking the first official British recommendation for territorial partition. The Zionist leadership accepted partition in principle as a basis for negotiation, while the Arab leadership rejected the proposal.
