The Jews were promised a homeland primarily through the Balfour Declaration of 1917, issued by the British government, which expressed support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. This promise was later reinforced by the League of Nations' mandate in 1922, which endorsed the Balfour Declaration and granted Britain administrative control over Palestine. The idea of a Jewish homeland also has deep historical and religious roots, traced back to biblical times.
