The British were so grateful that they issued the Balfour Declaration, establishing a national homeland for the Jewish people. Dr. Weizmann received the support of the President of the United States, Harry S Truman, who wrote to him in November of 1948: "I want to tell you how happy and impressed I have been at the remarkable progress made by the new State of Israel." Dr. Weizmann wrote: "I think that the God of Israel is with us."
