Critics dismiss the Weizmann-Faisal agreement because it was never enacted; however, the fact that the leader of the Arab nationalist movement and the Zionist movement could reach an understanding is significant because it demonstrated that Jewish and Arab aspirations were not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Emir Faisal, son of Sherif Hussein, the leader of the Arab revolt against the Turks, signed an agreement with Chaim Weizmann and other Zionist leaders during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference.

 THE ARAB/ISRAELI CONFLICT:
I suggest the Zionists were willing to settle for the terms of the Balfour Declaration and the Faisal-Weizmann agreement, but being desirous of a homeland were actively seeking it through direct appeals to the British government.
A blueprint for a settlement is found in the agreement reached between Dr. Chaim Weizmann and Sharif Faisal Ibn Husain at the close of World War I, as it pointed the way to a world in which Jewish aspirations would have been fulfilled, while protecting the rights of Arabs.
The existence of this agreement was not published until 1936 when Dr. Chaim Weizmann, in an attempt to prove that the Arabs approved of the way the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate over Palestine had worked in practice, wrote of it in a letter to the London Times.
