[British Ambassador to France, Duff Cooper, writes from London]
--February 13, 1945
The Lebanese minister ...talked at considerable length about the wrongs of Palestine...He said that Palestine should be an entirely Arab state. I asked him how about the Jews. He said that if the British would only close their eyes for a few minutes the Arabs would soon settle the Jewish question.
