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.
