February 1947 CE

"His Majesty's Government have thus been faced with an irreconcilable conflict of principles. There are in Palestine about twelve hundred thousand Arabs and six hundred thousand Jews. For the Jews the essential point of principle is the creation of a sovereign Jewish State. For the Arabs, the essential point of principle is to resist to the last the establishment of Jewish sovereignty in any part of Palestine."

—British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, address to the House of Commons in February 1947.
