∙ 11y agoIt gave political impetus to the idea of founding the State of Israel - the Declaration was made whilst the British had the mandate for the area having occupied it after the WW1 demise of the Ottoman Empire. There had been suggestions in the past (eg Lord Shaftesbury in the 19th century) and Jews had been steadily aquiring land even under the Turks. With the further impetus of the Second World War and the Holocaust - it became a reality and was recognised by the newly founded United Nations. Immediately it sparked a series of wars (Israel is till at war with Syria) which led to insability in the region and created the problems currently faced by the Palestinian people.

∙ 8y agoThe Balfour Declaration was the first promise by the British Empire to give the Jewish people a national home in Palestine. It was the first major success of the Zionist Movement and led to increased pressure by Jews to immigrate to the territory and set the foundations of a new Jewish State-to-be. As the Zionists worked to create a Jewish state, the support of one of the world's largest powers, that was soon to take over Palestine, was crucial. This also changed the future trajectory of Israel/Palestine as a region, allowing the seeds of Israel's creation to be sown.

Did the Balfour Declaration hinder the aims of Pan-Arabism?
The Declaration itself was toothless. In the same way the Emancipation Proclamation did not free any slaves, but set up the INTENT to free slaves, the Balfour Declaration did not create a Jewish State, but set up the INTENT to create a Jewish State. As concerns the Jewish State, many Arabs claim that Israel prevented Pan-Arabism from occurring even though the most successful Pan-Arab Nationalist project was the Egyptian-Syrian United Arab Republic which was physically split by Israel. Simply put, Israel drives a geographical wedge between Egypt and North Africa in the west and the Levant, Iraq, and Arabia in the east. Bottom Line: The Balfour Declaration neither furthered not hindered the aims of Pan-Arabism, but its later-result Israel is viewed to have hindered Pan-Arabism.

How did Lord Balfour influence the Middle East Crisis?
Lord Balfour created the official British Policy that the Kingdom would look favorably upon the creation of a Jewish State in the Mandate of Palestine. This policy called the "Balfour Declaration of 1917" galvanized the Zionists and was their first real political success at Jewish foreign relations. The Balfour Declaration eventually led to UN Resolution 181 which gave the Jewish State the Right to Declare a State. The Establishment of the State of Israel and the Arab Response to such an Establishment is responsible for much of the Middle East Crisis as concerns Israel and Palestine. It is important to note that there are many other Middle Eastern Crises (such as the American Invasion of Iraq, the Syrian Occupation of Lebanon, the Bahraini King's crushing of internal opposition, and the Moroccan-Algerian Sands War to name a few) which are entirely unrelated to both Lord Balfour and Israel/Palestine.
