Just today (Sunday) a century ago, after a week of talks, an international conference in San Remo, Italy, attended by the "countries of agreement" in World War I, debated the division of the former Ottoman Empire among the victorious European powers.

The importance of the conference in a long-term Zionist view stems from the gap between making a general and non-binding statement and its legal anchoring in the law. In fact, the conference reaffirmed and expanded the terms of the Sykes-Pico Agreement between France and the United Kingdom for the partition of the region, signed on May 16, 1916. On April 24, 1920, the conference decided to hand over the rule of Israel to the United Kingdom.

The mandate also included "some of the Golan Heights (which have been under Israeli control since the Six Day War, which were to be included within the boundaries of the Jewish National House that was to be completed at the end of the British Mandate for Israel) and the East Jordan Pass, which in June 1922 was the first White Paper to be a separate administrative unit in March. Western Israel, was demolished from the territories of the Jewish National House and later became the Jordanian emirate, which gained independence in 1947 and changed its name to the "Hashemite Jordanian Kingdom".

What is the essence of ratification? The heads of state actually gave legal effect to the connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel. In this way, the Conference decided to include in the Balfour Declaration and to impose responsibility on Britain, as the Mandatory Power, to implement the Declaration. The founding of the "National House" for the Jewish people in Palestine "). 

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the conference, the World Zionist Organization made a 100-second video, a second against each year for a history-making conference. 

Jacob Haguel, Deputy and Chairman of the World Zionist Organization: "Exactly 100 years ago, on April 26, 1920, in San Remo, Italy, a very important thing fell to the Jewish people. The victorious World War I leaders responded to the World Zionist Organization's claims and decided for a state. It was at least as important a decision as the Balfour Declaration and the UN vote on November 29. He said, "The decision of the San Remo Conference is a binding document of international law, to this day, and it has given the Jewish people the legal right to the entire Land of Israel. Unfortunately, the conference is almost unknown to Israeli public." 

Meanwhile, throughout the day, the "If You Want" movement and the "Citizens of Canada for Israel's Legal Rights" organization held a special broadcast day to mark the date. For the first time, there is a full broadcast day on the rights of the Jewish people in Israel.

The seminar was broadcast in several Hebrew and English hotspots on the social networks of the ZOA Roof Organization and hundreds of thousands in Israel, USA Canada and Europe were exposed to the broadcast day.

Among the various lecturers who participated: Former Deputy Foreign Minister Dani Ayalon, Dr. Motti Kedar, Prof. Talia Einhorn and former Knesset MK Yuli (Joel) Edelstein, who said: "For some reason in the political debates that are currently taking place on our rights to this country It is customary to forget that 100 years ago, the international community determined that this would be the national home of the Jews. Today it is exciting to think that we are all partners in building another floor and another floor in this house. Remember the past to have an even better future. " 

Justice Minister Amir Ohana added: "Exactly 100 years ago, the Allies gathered for a conference in San Remo. Among the decisions they made, they adopted and began to implement a previous resolution made in 1917 - the Balfour Declaration. This historic event was one of the cornerstones of the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people. Thanks to people and organizations such as "If You Want" and the Citizens of Canada Organization for Israel's Legal Rights, which educate and maintain Zionism - we have the power and the right to continue to build this marvel called the State of Israel and protect the rights of our people in our country.
