Political Developments and Intelligence in Palestine, 1930–40
Political developments within the Arab and the Jewish communities in the aftermath of the disturbances of August 1929 in Palestine should have been the concern of the intelligence organizations. Th
British intelligence and the role of Jewish informers in Palestine
The disturbances in Palestine which lasted for nine days from 23 August 1929, took the form of vicious attacks by Arabs upon Jews. Though the racial tension and alarming signals rose greatly during the month that preceded the outbreak, no precautionary measures had been taken bythe authorities.' Long before August 1929, the country had been denuded of security forces below the margin of safety. The Palestine Police and especially its Arab section…
Boundaries delimitation: Palestine and Trans‐Jordan
Palestine and Trans-Jordan emerged as modern states; this was in consequence of British war commitments to its allies during the First World War. Sir Mark Sykes, a senior Foreign Office official, together with George Picot, a French diplomat, set out in May 1917, to discuss matters with Sherif Hussein of Mecca, in order to co-ordinate the Sykes-Picot Agreement of May 1916,1 with the British commitments made previously to the Arabs.2 Lloyd George,…
French policy in Syria and Zionism: Proposal for a Zionist settlement
In the Anglo-French rivalry over the control of Palestine (which according to the Sykes-Picot Agreement of May 1916 should have been mostly under international control), Great Britain succeeded in weighting the balance in her favour. Clemenceau, the French prime minister, gave up Palestine to Britain at the beginning of December 1918.2 From then on, French policy-makers would consider the Zionists as a British proxy or a tool, wishing to cut furt…
British commitments to the Arabs and their application to the Palestine‐Trans‐Jordan boundary: The issue of the Semakh Triangle
From 24 October 1915 onwards British policy-makers had come up with ideas concerning an intended political separation of Trans-Jordan from Palestine proper.' It was on this date that Sir Henry McMahon, His Majesty's High Commissioner at Cairo, pledged to recognize the independence of the Arabs in certain areas but excluding those portions of Syria lying to the west of the districts of Damascus, Homs, Hama and Aleppo.2 The Sykes-Picot Agreement wh…
Egypt's North‐Eastern boundary in Sinai
The findings in this article are at variance with those of most historians and the subject is treated by taking into consideration the whole chain of events of more than the hundred years which preceded the boundary delimitation, thus trying to cast a new light on the full historical process. The history of the boundary is connected with the history of Mohammed Ali, who was appointed in 1805 as Vali of Egypt with the title of viceroy.3 Mohammed A…
The South‐Eastern limits of Palestine at the end of Ottoman rule
The first source was a sketch map annexed to the annual reports of the British Consul in Jerusalem as from 1907 up to 1914.1 The second was a map of Asia drawn by the Royal Geographical Society and printed by the War Office in 1916.2 Another source was the remarkable Handbook of Syria (including Palestine), written by the Geographical Section, Intelligence Division Admiralty in 1918. The Handbook stated that 'all that lies east of the Mediterrane…
