A lot of inaccuracies in this article. The Balfour Declaration only declared that the Jewish national home would be IN Palestine, not that it would encompass the entire area of Palestine.

Jewish soveriegnty of the entire area west of the Jordan River was never internationally recognized, not in 1948 and not today. To this day Israel itself does not claim the West Bank to be its sovereign territory.

No I think you are confused. The Palestine referred to here included all of Jordan as well as Israel and the "occupied territories". So when you say it was supposed to be "IN Palestine" not "All of" that is exactly what occured. West of the Jordan was to be the Jewish homeland, east of the Jordan an Arab state, but all of it was collectively known as "Palestine" as per the Balfour Declaration.

The British had explained thoroughly in writing to Arab leaders after 1919 that they had never promised them a state on the west side of the Jordan river.

The Arabs continued to press their case, and by 1947 had been able to coerse/convince the British and others that they should split Palestine once more and create yet a third Arab state. Which is what occured as witnessed by UN resolution 181.

You have to realize that the word "Palestine" has many different meanings depending on what time frame you are talking about (or who you are talking to). To this day the PLO prints maps depicting all of Jordan as "Palestine", and indeed, after WW1 Palestine meant the land that is now Jordan, and Israel, and the territory claimed by the "Palestinians".

You are correct about the Balfour Declaration holding that there should be a Jewish state in (parto of)PAlestine.
The World Agreed as did the Arab states. In 1923, Transjordan was created as a soveriegn Arab country in 2/3 of Palestine.

The Balfour declaration was not without conditions. It had three parts. The first part stated "His majesties government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the jewish people and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object."
The second part said "It being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine."
The third part said "The rights and political status enjoyed by the Jews in any other country shall not be prejudiced by the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people."
