background: On November 13, 1945, the British government, represented by Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, announced in the House of Commons the creation of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine, in cooperation with the United States, which had agreed to participate. The joint committee was tasked with examining the political, economic, and social conditions in Palestine, particularly regarding Jewish immigration and settlement, as well as the situation of Jewish refugees in post-Holocaust Europe, many of whom sought to emigrate to Palestine. The committee was also to hear views from both Jewish and Arab representatives and make recommendations for interim and long-term solutions to the British and U.S. governments. On the same day, President Harry S. Truman issued a statement expressing U.S. concern for the plight of European Jews and support for addressing the Palestine question collaboratively. This initiative marked the first formal U.S.-British joint effort to manage postwar Jewish immigration and address growing tensions between Jewish and Arab communities under the British Mandate, laying the groundwork for later recommendations, including the admission of 100,000 Jewish immigrants, although it did not immediately resolve the broader political conflict in the region.
