The Balfour Declaration was a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour, addressed November 2, 1917, that outlined the British policy for partitioning the Ottoman Empire. The letter summarized a decision reached by the British cabinet that the government would support a plan to establish a national home for displaced Jewish people, located somewhere within Palestine. The position had been influenced by Zionist campaigning but took a more restrained position than influential Zionists had suggested. The Balfour Declaration is an important document, the first to recognize the formation of a Jewish homeland, that went on to influence the Treaty of Sèvres and policy in the British Mandate of Palestine.
