 The idea of population transfer was briefly placed on the Mandate's political agenda in 1937 by the Peel Commission.The commission recommended that Britain should withdraw from Palestine and that the land be partitioned between Jews and Arabs.It called for a ""transfer" of land and an "exchange" of population", including the removal of 250,000 Palestinian Arabs from what would become the Jewish state, along the lines of the mutual population exchange between the Turkish and Greek populations after the Greco-Turkish War of 1922.
