Learn everything you need to know about the Balfour Declaration as Israel gets ready to celebrate the historic document’s 100th anniversary.
This Thursday, Israel and the United Kingdom will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, which was originally a historic letter sent by then-UK foreign secretary Arthur Balfour to British Jewish leader Lord Walter Rothschild.
