Jessup
said
the
British
plan,
"without
our
amendments,
is
more
restrictive
than
necessary."
Under
the
Bernadotte
plan,
the
Negev
would
be
taken
from
the
Jews
and
they
would
get
western
Galilee
Instead.
The
original
United
Nations
partition
gives
the
Negev
to
the
Jews
and
western
Galilee
to
the
Arabs.
