Palestinians demand UK apology for 1917 Balfour Declaration that pledged British support for the creation of Israel

Growing calls for formal apology over letter that gave formal British support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine almost a century ago

A campaign demanding that the UK issue a formal apology for supporting the idea of a Jewish state in the Middle East almost a century ago is growing in popularity after the launch of a new parliamentary petition.

Liberal Democrat peer Baroness Jenny Tonge hosted an event at the House of Lords announcing the launch of the Palestinian Return Centre’s (PRC) initiative to pressure the UK government into acknowledging its role in “almost a century of Palestinian suffering” and the UK's wider colonial impact on the region last Tuesday.
