President Woodrow Wilson appoints an American panel,…

June 1919 CE

President Woodrow Wilson appoints an American panel, the King-Crane Commission, to investigate the disposition of Ottoman territories and the assigning of mandates.

After extensive surveys in Palestine and Syria, the commission reports intense opposition to the Balfour Declaration among the Arab majority in Palestine and advises against permitting unlimited Jewish immigration or the creation of a separate Jewish state.

The commission's report in August 1919 will not be officially considered by the conference, however, and will not be made public until 1922.
