For your information, here are the facts which led up to General Dentz being forced to conclude an armistice with the British in Syria and Palestine on July 14, 1941.

During the latter part of June the (difficulties involved ?) in sending reinforcements in men and materials (to Syria) were innumerable, and the conclusion of the struggle was no longer in doubt ——, we sent a message to London on the 28th to say that we were ready to examine the conditions under which it would be possible to bring an end to hostilities. We proposed to meet to consider the situation on July 1. England (would hold ?) the ground (already taken ?), and would recognize henceforth ——. We were counting on retaining the upper hand in a loyal region which would recognize our laws, and would later form a rallying point for those of good faith. The British government waited until July 7 to acknowledge our overture. On July 8 General Dentz was authorized by the government (to negotiate ?)
