Extract

The Mandate for Palestine shall be terminated at the earliest practicable date.

Among the reasons for this unanimous conclusion are the following:

a. All directly interested parties — the Mandatory Power, Arabs and Jews — are in full accord that there is urgent need fora change in the status of Palestine. The Mandatory Power has officially informed the Committee “that the Mandate has proved to be unworkable in practice, and that the obligations undertaken to the two communities in Palestine have been shown to be irreconcilable”. Both Arabs and Jews urge the termination of the Mandate and the grant of independence to Palestine, although they are in vigorous disagreement as to the form that independence should take.
