The part about Arab acceptence to the Balfour Declaration is incorrect. Faisal did in fact meet Weizman through the mediation of T.E Lawrence, however, he was in no position to accept any settlement since he himself was at odds with the British and French. In fact Faisal was forced out of Syria by French bombings and had to return to Hijaz (Saudi Arabia) until he and his brother were later given the Kingdoms of Iraq and Jordan.

I've amended this to a more neutral and accurate version.Palmiro 10:34, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

T.E Lawrence in his autobiography says he was hoping after 3 generations of ruling by Faisal's family that the Arabs will be able to continue their quest for self-determination; this was reference to Greater Syria and Palestine.

Husayn

I altered the spelling to Hussein.

Transjordan

I removed TransJordan from the phrase " and conquered TransJordan", because Transjordan did not exist at that time, it was created by the British, over a cup of tea with Abdullah ibn Hussein —The preceding unsigned comment was added by George Al-Shami (talk • contribs) 19:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC).

King Faisal descendent

Can someone cite the sources of King Faisal descendant? As far as I know, he is from Hashim tribe of Arab Quraish but he is not descendant of prophet Muhammad.Pejuang bahasa (talk) 09:49, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Pre WWII U.N??

The U.N never existed before the end of the Second World War. Why then does it say the Balfour Decleration was accepted "...by Europe and the U.N..."? ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(^Ταλκ) 14:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I removed the link to Jewish Virtual Library. This page was written by AIPAC-Member Mitchell Bard and is full of propaganda which totally ignores the international recognized view in the UN. It does not even serve as a reference to the main text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.9.49.74 (talk) 08:31, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Faisal 1's missing son

This articles states Faisal 1 had 3 daughters and 2 sons. In fact, he had 3 daughters and only 1 son, Ghazi, who became Ghazi 1, king of Iraq, at the age of 21. Faisal 1 of Iraq had no other son. If you read carefully, you will find there are only 4 children listed. (Montoison (talk) 23:44, 13 October 2008 (UTC))

Can any sources be provided about the children? If not, let's remove the section entirely, per WP:V. --El on ka 05:15, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
