"Upon the outbreak of World War I, political Zionism reasserted itself, and its leadership passed to Russian Jews living in England. Two such Zionists, Chaim Weizmann and Nahum Sokolow, were instrumental in obtaining the Balfour Declaration from Great Britain (November 2, 1917), which promised British support for the creation of a Jewish national home in Palestine. The declaration was included in Britainโ€™s League of Nations mandate over Palestine (1922). Meanwhile, Zeโ€™ev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky, whose Revisionist strand of Zionism (which later constituted much of the Israeli right) emphasized the need to secure self-determination through armed force, began organizing a Jewish self-defense movement in Palestine. The Haganah, a Zionist military organization that was later transformed into the core of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), was established in 1920." - britannica
