Arthur James Balfour. As Foreign Secretary, he issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917 as drafted by Lord Alfred Milner which supported the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine and protected the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities.

The History of the conflict in Palestine gives an overview from the end of the eighteenth century to the cessation of major European involvement with the termination of the British mandate in Palestine in 1948 and the concluding Arab-Israeli war. Major European Powers involvement in Palestine began with Napoleon's invasion, British annexation of Egypt and the Sinai, creeping Europeanisation and saw the birth of the two conflicting Nationalist ideologies of Zionism and Palestinian Nationalism with mutually exclusive claims to the area called Palestine (Arz-i Filistin) by the Ottomans and Palestinians and Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael) by Israelis.[1][2] With the final fiasco of the Suez Crisis.
