Some context provided by AI:

The British Declaration, also known as the Balfour Declaration, was a statement made on November 2, 1917, by British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Baron Lionel Walter Rothschild.  The declaration expressed the British government’s support for the establishment of a “national home” for the Jewish people in Palestine.

Key Points:

The declaration confirmed Britain’s support for the establishment of a “national home” for the Jewish people in Palestine, with two conditions:
It did not prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.
It did not affect the rights and political status of Jews in any other country.
The declaration was included in the British mandate over Palestine, authorized by the League of Nations in 1922.
The Balfour Declaration played a significant role in the emergence of the State of Israel and is considered a principal cause of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Context:

The declaration was made during World War I, as Britain sought to secure Allied support and gain a strategic advantage in the Middle East.
The British government’s support for Zionism was motivated by a desire to counter German and Ottoman influence in the region and to secure a land bridge between Egypt and the Persian Gulf.
The declaration was also influenced by the efforts of Zionist organizations and leaders, such as Chaim Weizmann, who lobbied the British government for recognition of Jewish rights in Palestine.
Legacy:

The Balfour Declaration has been widely criticized by Palestinians and Arab states for its perceived role in displacing Arab populations and undermining their rights in Palestine.
The declaration has also been praised by many Jews and Israelis as a historic milestone in the establishment of the State of Israel.
Today, the Balfour Declaration remains a contentious issue in Israeli-Palestinian relations, with many Palestinians calling for its repeal or revisions.

 Yeah. Also the Brits promised the Arabs recognition of their state if they would push back the Turks, which they did, and then got worse than nothing in return.
