The UN resolution on Palestine, of 29 November 1947, for Abdallah was a landmark in little more than a symbolic sense — since he had already been acting on the assumption that the UN would endorse partition, there was no need for him to lay out a new course. What is more, once partition had become the internationally accepted solution and a date had been set for the termination of the mandate, Abdallah felt confident he could proceed safely with the plans he had lined up.


Abdallah Retakes the Initiative

If Abdallah had thought that the all-Palestine government suggested no imminent danger because the Arab Legion practically controlled most of Arab Palestine which the King considered as de facto annexed, the general manifestations of joy and sympathy the Gaza declaration of independence evoked among the Palestinian Arabs under his control quickly taught him that he had misread the situation. As was his wont, he had taken the Palestinian Arabs for granted — by assuming that they had no viable alternative to the protection he offered, he had underrated their personal inclinations and their national feelings.

In practical terms, the conclusion of the Rhodes armistice agreement furnished Abdallah with the clearest form of external recognition of his standing in Palestine. He now had to consolidate and formalize that position from within while working to extend and enhance recognition from the outside world. Encouraged by the Rhodes agreement, the King again contemplated a formal annexation ceremony. Circumstances, however, were to interfere once more and force its postponement for another year.

When news about the horrendous events of the Holocaust began reaching Palestine, the shock deeply traumatized the Jewish community there. As more and more details transpired about the scope and the systematic nature of Nazi atrocities, Jewish demands to have the gates of Palestine thrown wide open to absorb as many survivors as possible gained in strength and vehemence. In the wake of the war the general agreement in the Zionist movement for the prompt establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine — as formulated in the Biltmore Programme of 19421 — was stronger than ever.

Throughout the early 1930s, the Arab community in Palestine underwent a process of political radicalisation that was directed against both the mandatory authorities and the Yishuv (the Jewish community). This radicalisation stemmed primarily from the inability of the traditional leadership (the Palestinian Arab Executive [PAE]) to meet the challenges that threatened Arab society, namely: the large-scale Jewish immigration and the British failure (in the Arabs’ eyes) to check it. Radicalisation was precipitated also by the emergence of new socio-political forces (a women’s movement, youth organisations and the Press).1
