Original Note:
There has never been a recognized country called Palestine. Balfour was referring to a region controlled by the Ottoman empire. It was divided into three administrative units (centered on Jerusalem, Nablus and Acre) that were governed from Beirut and Constantinople. https://digitalprojects.palestine-studies.org/resources/special-focus/ottoman-palestine
