The creation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine –the merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of the West Bank into one single territorial entity comprising about 80% of the territory of the Mandate for Palestine (Mandate)--will be a fitting end to the Mandate saga which began on July 24, 1922 with the unanimous approval of its terms by all 51 Members of the League of Nations.
The remaining 20% of the Mandate territory will mark the final internationally recognised boundaries of Israel--3000 years after the loss of the Jewish ancient and biblical homeland to the Roman General--Pompey--following his conquest of Jerusalem and its surroundings in 63 BC.
