palestine mandate

On June 24, 1922 the League of Nations agreed upon a document called the Palestine Mandate. This document was created to define the degree of administration to be exercised by the Mandatory in Palestine.

Background

After World War I the Principal Allied Powers selected Britain as the Mandatory (or administrator) of Palestine. Palestine was territory previously held by the Turkish Empire. One quarter of the territory extended east from the Mediterranean to a line formed along the Jordan River, three quarters extended further east from the line of the Jordan. The entire territory is sometimes referred to as the British Mandate of Palestine.

Content

Article 2 of the Palestine Mandate stated that the administration would "secure the establishment of the Jewish national home", while "safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine". In addition, Article 25 of the mandate stated that all territory east of the Jordan was, in most part, at Britain's will, withheld from all provisions of the mandate.
