Recounting the 100th anniversary of the San Remo Conference. April 25, 1920.
San Remo hosted world leaders to decide the future of Palestine, Syria and Mesopotamia.
Syria and Mesopotamia (Iraq) were to be given to the Hashemites, as was Transjordan, and codified the Jewish People's rights to the Land of Israel into international law according to the terms and policy of the Balfour Declaration, namely that “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,” and that Britain “will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object.”
