Keywords:
Britain, Balfour Declaration, The Zionist Project, The Zionist Movement, Palestine.Abstract
The Great Powers determine their policy based on interests and there is no room for individualism or emotions.
When Britain was concerned with the Zionist movement, it was convinced that this interest is in the interest of the British Empire, both at the domestic level in Europe as a result of certain balances, or making use of it to achieve its interests in the east, Great Britain has taken a series of legal, political and economic measures, using high diplomacy to prepare for the Balfour Declaration, which was in form of a confidential letter issued by the British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Chaim Weizmann. It is believed that the British diplomacy succeeded in convincing both France and the United States to support this Declaration before it was released. This has had a positive impact not only on bringing it into existence but also on influencing the course of the first World War when the Americans supported the British in World war I. When Britain was able to win the war and its troops entered Palestine ,it declared its true intentions towards the Balfour Declaration, and worked during the period of military rule to prepare the country to establish the Jewish State as a fulfillment of the ill-fated Declaration. This trend has been supported when Britain integrated between the Balfour Declaration, and the Mandate document and led to the transformation of this text to an international document.
As for the economic empowerment of the Zionist movement in Palestine ,the it has worked to exploit the main natural resources of the Zionist movement and make use of them on account of the Palestinian people, such as Rotenberg project , drying of Lake Hula and the same applies to the Dead Sea project
