Britain disclosed that a number of troops and supplies will remain in the Holy Land indefinitely, seemingly until the United Nations reaches a final decision on Palestine. The plan envisions an Army of occupation in a transitional zone with refugee camps to be established in Jerusalem and later in Nablus and Jaffa, housing Jews and Arabs under Geneva conventions with Red Cross aid and prisoner exchanges in place.
