Celebrating the Balfour Declaration

On November 2, 2017, Israel will celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the issuing of the Balfour Declaration by the British Government. The Balfour declaration is credited with paving the way for the rebirth of the Jewish nation in Israel.

Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas is pressuring Britain to apologize for the Balfour Declaration, but British Prime Minister Theresa May has announced her intention to celebrate Britain’s role in the founding of the modern state of Israel. We’ll talk about this development and other events of the week on today’s edition of End of the Age online.
