Plan A
Plan A was the commission's interpretation of the Peel plan, with the boundaries redrawn "more exactly, taking their outline as a guide". It proposed a coastal Jewish state, a British-mandated corridor from Jerusalem to the coast, and the remainder of Palestine merged with Transjordan into an Arab state. Jaffa (without Tel-Aviv) was included in the mandated corridor in the Peel plan but in the Arab state in Plan A. The initial population of the two states under Plan A were estimated as 7,200 Jews and 485,200 Arabs in the Arab state, and 304,900 Jews and 294,700 Arabs in the Jewish state.

Famous quotes containing the word plan:
“I plan to be reincarnated as a dolphin.”
—Margo Godfrey Oberg (b. c. 1955)
“Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he
That every man in arms should wish to be?
It is the generous spirit, who, when brought
Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought
Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought:
Whose high endeavors are an inward light
That makes the path before him always bright:
Who, with a natural instinct to discern
What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn;
And in himself posses his own desire;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
