Weizmann: May 14, 1926: A few more words with regard to another question which is perhaps connected with the military unit question, which came to the fore in the discussion here. I openly and explicitly stated here as well as in London that we see in Transjordania the eastern part of Eretz Israel.
Weizmann: 8 July 1947: There is no question about it that when Palestine was promised, when the Declaration was given, when the Mandate was written Palestine” was understood “Palestine and Trans-Jordan”. Then Trans-Jordan” was cut-off.
Jabotinsky – 1937: The term “Palestine,” when I employ it, will mean the area on both sides of the Jordan, the area mentioned in the original Palestine Mandate. B
Ben Gurion in a speech in 1937: The acceptance of partition does not commit us to renounce Transjordan: one does not demand from anybody to give up his vision. We shall accept a state in the boundaries fixed today, but the boundaries of Zionist aspirations are the concern of the Jewish people and no external factor will be able to limit them.
