  • Advisor

  • Military Commander

  • Observer

  • Overseer

Answer

Curzon, the British Foreign Secretary at the time, played a crucial role in the division of Palestine. As the principal architect of the 1922 Churchill White Paper, he proposed the partition of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem under international control. This proposal laid the groundwork for the eventual partition of Palestine in 1948, which resulted in the creation of the State of Israel.
