This shows what became of the Palestine Mandate, which was promised to Israel in the Balfour Declaration.
| Size of the Palestine Mandate promised to Israel in 1922 | 43,000 sq mi |
| Amount of Palestine Mandate used to form Jordan in 1946 | 32,500 sq mi |
| Size of Israel declared by UN in 1948 | 5,500 sq mi |
| Size of Israel after the 1949 cease-fire | 8,000 sq mi |
| Size of Yesha* and the Golan Heights | 2,500 sq mi |
| Size of Israel after the 1967 cease-fire | 10,500 sq mi |
*Yesha is an acronym for Yehuda, Shomron and Azza (Gaza)
This chart shows, as pointed out by former Israeli Cabinet Minister Benny Alon that more than 75% of the land known as Palestine, promised by the British Government for the establishment of a Jewish Homeland, has already been used to create an Arab state (Jordan) and that Israel, with or without the land known as Yesha or the West Bank has only a small fraction of that land.
For comparison with other sources, 1 sq. mi. = 2.78 km2.
