The Balfour Declaration was signed on 2 November 1917. The letter, by British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour, was a pledge for a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
The declaration is seen as a catalyst for the 1948 Nakba (catastrophe) where more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes
