Repeated calls on the United Kingdom to apologize to Palestinians for the Balfour Declaration

Palestine ·

Academics at the University of Edinburgh recently backed the demands, which also call for compensation for Britain's role in Palestine during the Mandate period and its part in the founding of the Israeli state. The calls coincide with the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.

The Balfour Declaration, a 1917 British letter, backed the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine. Britain then governed Palestine under a League of Nations mandate from 1920 to 1948, a period that remains central to Palestinian grievances.
