treaty of berlin
a jewish national movement, zionism, emerged in the late-19th century (partially in response to growing anti-semitism), as part of which aliyah (jewish return from diaspora) increased. during world war i, the british government publicly committed to create a jewish national home and was granted a mandate to rule palestine by the league of nations for this purpose. a rival arab nationalism also claimed rights over the former ottoman territories and sought to prevent jewish migration into palestine, leading to growing arab–jewish tensions. israeli independence in 1948 was accompanied by an exodus of arabs from israel, the arab–israeli conflict and a subsequent jewish exodus from arab and muslim countries to israel. about 43% of the world's jews live in israel today, the largest jewish community in the world.

macmillan placed the nassau agreement before the cabinet on 3 january 1963. he made the case for britain retaining nuclear weapons. he asserted that it would not be in the best interest of the western alliance for all knowledge of the technology to reside with the united states; that possession of an independent nuclear capability gave britain the ability to respond to threats from the soviet union even when the united states was not inclined to support britain; and that possession of nuclear weapons gave britain a voice in nuclear disarmament talks. however, concerns were expressed that the dependence on the united states would necessarily diminish britain's influence on world affairs. thorneycroft addressed the view that britain should provide a nuclear deterrent from its own resources. he pointed out that polaris represented $800 million in research and development costs that the united kingdom would save. nonetheless, the chancellor of the exchequer, selwyn lloyd, was still concerned at the cost.
