What was it? A British inquiry led by Lord Peel.
Big Recommendation: Partition Palestine into two states:
๐ฏ๐ช Jewish State
๐ฆ๐ท Arab State
Reactions
๐ซ Arabs: Thumbs down. They didn't like it.
๐ค Jews: Wanted even more land than suggested.
Outcome: More fighting ensued, but the British, with better gear, retook Palestine.
Imagine if New York City was suddenly divided into two states: one for cat lovers and one for dog lovers. While it seems funny, territorial partitions can lead to real tensions and disagreements, much like what happened with the Peel Commission's proposal.
Why did Britain back off?
World war was looming.
There was a growing bond between Arab leaders and Germany.
Britain needed the Arab countries for their precious oil. Think of it like needing to keep your phone charger buddies close so your battery never dies!
