The boundary between the forthcoming British and French mandates was defined in broad terms.[8] That agreement placed the bulk of the Golan Heights in the French sphere. The treaty also established a joint commission to settle the border and mark it on the ground.[8] The commission submitted its final report on 3 February 1922, and it was approved with some caveats by the British and French governments on 7 March 1923,[9] several months before Britain and France assumed their Mandatory responsibilities on 29 September 1923.[10] In accordance with the same process, a nearby parcel of land that included the ancient site of Dan was transferred from Syria to Palestine early in 1924. In this way the Golan Heights became part of the French Mandate of Syria.
