 Manfred and Anne Lehmann Foundation
Churchill had a feeling throughout the war that a Jewish homeland in Palestine was highly desirable.
Although Churchill continued to be a Zionist enthusiast, his policies were undermined in the Colonial Office, where the Arabists -- including the fabled Lawrence of Arabia -- had plans to strip the League of Nations mandate of “Palestine” of all its eastern or Trans-Jordanian territory and award it to the Hashemite family of local rulers.
Churchill, the great Zionist would never have agreed with this development, especially as "Jordan" was also largely populated by Palestinians from the western part of the mandate.

 MidEast Web - Documents and History - White Paper of 1922
Churchill, possibly with the help of Herbert Samuel, was given the thankless task of reframing the mandate in such a way that it would placate the Arabs, but still give Britain an excuse to keep Palestine from the French in the form of the "homeland for the Jewish people"
The White Paper of 1922, known as the "Churchill White Paper," or "Command Paper" alludes somewhat obliquely to this change.
But the area east of the Jordan, included in the Palestine mandate, was therefore included in the pledge according to Churchill (the Jordan river is not mentioned in the McMahon correspondence) and shortly thereafter, Transjordan was separated from Palestine and made a separate Hashemite kingdom, as compensation for the loss of Syria to the French.

The conflicting agreements are the result of changing progress during the war, switching in the earlier correspondence from needing Arab help to subsequently trying to enlist the help of Jews in the US in getting the US to join the First World War, in conjunction with the Balfour Declaration, 1917.
Attempts to resolve the conflict were made at the San Remo conference and in the Churchill White Paper, 1922, which stated the British position that Palestine was part of the excluded areas of "Syria lying to the west of the District of Damascus".
