| Summary: | The Palestine issue is a politico-legal issue that has remained unresolved for so long. The issue started immediately after the disintegration of the
Ottoman Empire and following the occupation of Palestine by Great Britain. Britain,
in disregard of the will of the majority in Palestine, facilitated Jewish settlements,
supported foreign- led Zionist movement, fulfilled its unjust promise as contained in
the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and created a state for Jews in Palestine. Britain by
doing this further complicated the issue – an issue which the League of Nations was
unable to solve and it has remained as the most serious unresolved issue on the
agenda of the UN since its establishment. |
