This is unfortunately an incorrect reading of the Balfour Declaration and the Palestine Mandate as awarded by the San Remo Conference. The Balfour Declaration did not promise the Jewish people a state, and nor did the San Remo Conference. The League of Nations Mandate adopted the words of the Balfour Declaration, and therefore cannot be taken as awarding exclusive statehood to the Jewish people in Palestine. Indeed, Churchill's White Paper of 1922 explicitly said there was no intention to make Palestine a Jewish state. The United Nations in 1947 did agree that the Jewish people should have their own state, but it did not authorise the creation of such a state from the whole of the territory of Mandatory Palestine. Israel today is quite a bit bigger than the state envisaged by the UN in 1947. Today's UN has repeatedly said Israel has no right to the West Bank or Gaza. It is wholly unreasonable of Lieberman to claim the authority of the UN for the creation of the Jewish state while repudiating it for the creation of the Palestinian state that the UN also approved in 1947.
