7) The League of Nations
Throughout the Great War there had been support in Britain, France and the USA for an international body to arbitrate to prevent war. Woodrow Wilson the US President received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919 for his work to promote it. Lord Robert Cecil's ideal was taken up by Balfour and the British government in 1918. The League of Nations came into existence at the Paris peace conference in 1919. Its covenant included Jan Smuts' idea for Mandates for the lands won in the Great war.
The
Balfour declaration regarding a Jewish homeland was accepted by the
League of Nations on July 24, 1922 and embodied in the mandate that
gave Great Britain administrative control of Palestine. This marked
the beginning of the land with overshadowing wings.
There was no woe to this land shadowing, rather the shadow of success, until 1939 when a British White Paper preventing Jewish immigration to Palestine reversed the policy. World War 2 changed the situation.

There is a great sense that the British are about to sail on the winds of change, and cast off the European shackles which have reduced trade and it's competitive edge. There is a reason why it's 'now', as it is spoken of in the Bible.
As the world becomes focussed on Israel and Jerusalem, with even nations leaders who remote from Israel having an opinion, we might consider that it is said that those who touch Jerusalem, touch God's eye.
