P F Tinmore, et al,
Nonsense --- mine was not a fallacious question.
Lausanne Treaty was signed on 24 July 1923 by the Allied Powers with Turkey; each having agreed to the terms and conditions.
There was no requirement for the Allied Powers to take any action relative to the acceptance of the territory by treaty. Acceptance it all that is required.
Not "i.e." (that is) the Palestinians; nowhere was that an exclusive condition; not in the Covenant and not in the Mandate. facilitate the acquisition of Palestinian citizenship by Jews who take up their permanent residence in Palestine.
Regarding the development of self-governing institutions --- The Mandate also provides for the recognition of a public body --- The Jewish Agency --- which is to advise and co-operate with the Mandatory in the administration of Palestine (economic, social and other matters) as may affect the establishment of the Jewish National Home and the interests of the Jewish population in Palestine, administration and immigration to establish citizenship as an "inhabitant'.. The Jewish Agency containing provisions framed so as to facilitate the acquisition of Palestinian citizenship by Jews who take up their permanent residence in Palestine.
Now this is important. The Arab Palestinians did not want to participate at the same level as the Jewish immigrants in terms of providing advise and co-operate with the Mandatory in the administration of Palestine. The Arab Palestinians declined three times during the period 1922 and 1923. The created a dilemma in the development of self-governing institutions more favorable to Arab Palestinian concerns.
However, none of this is even relevant any more. The Arab Palestinians declined to participate in the development of self-governing institutions, they declined in the participation in the Step Preparatory to Independence, and declined to engage in fruitful negotiations. The Arab Palestinians cannot roll back the clock. The outcomes are what they are. No matter how difficult for them to accept, they will not be given the State of Israel in which to complete their Jihad.
Most Respectfully,
R

(COMMENT)False question. When did the allied powers annex or otherwise claim that territory? Palestine was held in trust on the behalf of the inhabitant i.e. the Palestinians.
