THE PEEL REPORT AND THE PARTITION OF PALESTINE. Two rare publications which paved the way for the partition of Palestine, the end of British administration, and the formation of the state of Israel in 1948. The Royal Commission was 'the most high-powered of the various commissions of enquiry which had visited Palestine, and its report, published in July 1937, was a model of insight, precision and lucidity. Seldom, if ever, has an intricate political problem been so clearly analysed by men who had little previous knowledge of the issues' (Lacquer). The second item, the rare White Paper on Partition, supports Peel's findings, stating that his scheme for partition represents 'the best and most helpful solution of the deadlock between Arab and Jew'. Laquer, A History of Zionism (1989), p.514. (2)
