Summary
The secret British-French pact, struck two years before the 1917 Balfour Declaration, dividing most of the Arab territories of the former Ottoman Empire between Britain and France and placing Palestine under international administration, as described in A Brief Genealogy of Jewish Republicanism: Parting Ways with Judith Butler (PDF p.37).
Details
- Tucker cites the agreement to argue that the Balfour Declaration seemed motivated by a British desire to rewrite its terms so as to engage international support for unilateral British control of Palestine in the name of establishing a Jewish homeland (PDF p.37).
