The road leading from biblical roots to the State of Israel is long. It is marked by signs that this book briefly examines to shed light on one of the most decisive: The Balfour Declaration. This short letter, signed by Balfour on November 2, 1917, confirmed in political terms the historical rights of the Jewish people to their ancestral land. It was subsequently ratified in international treaties that sealed the dismantling of the Turkish Empire and reshaped the map of Asia from the Persian Gulf to the Sinai, according to the major interests of the victorious powers in 1918. But, during these crucial years for the subsequent evolution of the Middle East, the bitter clash of opposing political forces, even between allied nations, complicated and confused the data. In this book, Renee Neher-Bernheim unravels a seemingly inextricable imbroglio in which figures such as Clemenceau, Lloyd George, Wilson, Weizmann, and Lawrence of Arabia play decisive roles. With engaging clarity, she presents, questions, and analyzes a wealth of fascinating and surprising documents, many of which are previously unpublished. She thus sheds new light on the entire period of the First World War, when, amidst profound political upheavals and changes, the green light was given to Israel.
