Why Britain is being forced to revisit the Balfour Declaration
Original: “Why Britain is being forced to revisit the Balfour Declaration” by Soumaya Ghannoushi in Middle East Eye @ palestine@fe
Soumaya Ghannoushi argues in Middle East Eye that Britain is being compelled to re-examine the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the pledge that supported a Jewish national home in Palestine.
