The development gap between the cities of Jaffa and Tel Aviv and its effect on the weakening of Jaffa in the time of the Mandate
At the time of the British Mandate in Palestine the development of Tel Aviv, which the Jaffa Arabs regarded as the realization of the Zionist enterprise, was perceived as a real threat to Jaffa’s future. The two cities’ geographic proximity threw into bold relief the differences between the two levels of development. As the years passed the two cities’ development demonstrated Tel Aviv’s supremacy over Jaffa. From the years of the Arab revolt (19…
The effect of the Jews on Jaffa’s economic deterioration from 1936 to 1947
One of the most grievous outcomes of the Arab revolt (1936-1939) was the severe economic damage caused to the Arab community. The worsening relations between Jews and Arabs from the start of the 1936 disturbances and thereafter had distinct consequences regarding the decline in Jaffa’s economic state. The slump that affected Jaffa from 1936 to the end of the Mandate period encroached on the city’s status and strength, as its weaknesses became mor…
The destruction of old Jaffa in 1936 and the question of the Arab refugees
One outcome of the Jewish–Arab conflict at the time of the British Mandate was the Arab refugee problem. It usually accompanied any escalation in hostilities and was evident at foci of the friction between Arabs and Jews. Reprisals by the authorities against the Arab population was an additional cause. At the time of the Arab Revolt the refugee issue assumed for the first time significant proportions as a result of destructive actions by the Brit…
Jaffa and the struggle to impede Tel Aviv’s expansion 1942–1947
Tel Aviv, which the Jaffa Arabs saw as the realisation of the Zionist enterprise, begot hostility to itself. Insofar as the city developed, it was perceived as a threat to Jaffa. The authorities’ approval of the enlargement of Tel Aviv’s boundaries in the early 1940s was, for the Arab side, a challenge to Jaffa’s future, and spawned the declaration of a struggle to achieve two goals: obstruction of Tel Aviv’s expansion and enlargement of Jaffa’s …
Relations between Tel Aviv and Jaffa 1921–1936
From the founding of Tel Aviv adjacent to the Arab city of Jaffa, a new and unique reality arose in Palestine in the form of neighborly relations between a Hebrew city and an Arab city. A deep rift in these relations resulted from the riots of 1921 and 1929, and in Zionist historiography it is argued that from the 1921 riots onward, the ties between them weakened and deteriorated constantly. This article aims to shed new light on the question, an…
The Second World War as a turning point in Arab–Jewish relations
One of the gravest outcomes of the period of the Arab revolt was the heavy economic damage caused to the Arab community. Jaffa, which suffered greatly in the years 1936–1939, sought to rebuild and restore the city to its status as a leading economic center in Palestine. This need intensified still more with the outbreak of the Second World War. Hence, it was in Jaffa's evident interest to bring about an improvement in relations with Tel Aviv and …
Developing Jaffa’s port, 1920‒1936
Jaffa port was long renowned as the main harbour of Palestine. From the onset of the British Mandate intense activity in turning it into a modern port resulted in the appointment of a series of committees composed of Arab and Jewish representatives from Jaffa and Tel Aviv. From the start, it was clearly in Tel Aviv’s interest to work for the development of Jaffa port, although the city did not concede its own desire to establish a port of its own…
The Jewish neighbourhoods of Jaffa and the question of annexation to Tel Aviv at the end of the British Mandate
One of the most complex issues facing British rule on the local municipal level towards the end of the Mandate period was the problem of Jaffa's Jewish neighbourhoods. This question, which emerged with the outbreak of the 1936 disturbances, engaged the government thereafter until the end of the Mandate. The demand by the residents of Jaffa's Jewish neighbourhoods for annexation to Tel Aviv – actually for municipal detachment from Jaffa – constitu…
Tel Aviv and the question of separation from Jaffa 1921–1936
The ordinance granting Tel Aviv the status of local council was given in 1921. Immediately thereafter, the municipal council acted to amend the terms of the ordinance so as to free Tel Aviv entirely from the supervision of Jaffa municipality. Tel Aviv aimed for the status of an independent municipality, but still wished to safeguard its interests in Jaffa. Detachment from Jaffa was for long a central issue for Tel Aviv municipality. The article a…
The Jews of Jaffa at the Time of the Arab Revolt
The outbreak of the 1936 riots immediately motivated the Jews of Jaffa to sever their ties with that city in favour of annexation to Tel Aviv. This demand became one of the thorniest and most sensitive problems on the local level, and engaged the British authorities right up to the end of the Mandate. It also became a concern of the highest order for the institutions of the yishuv, bound up with the Zionist struggle as a whole. This article focus…
The Struggle to Save the National Symbol
The outbreak of the Arab revolt marked the start of the continuous economic decline of Jaffa, which hitherto had been known as an outstanding and flourishing economic centre. The decisive factor that highlighted above all others the city's economic deterioration was the decline of its port. This carried notable moral implication for the Arab public, as Jaffa port, the city's symbol and legacy, was deemed a national emblem and a foundation stone o…
Ideas and Plans to Construct a Railroad in Northern Palestine in the Late Ottoman Period
The article describes and probes the initial experiments in laying railroad tracks in northern Palestine during the second half of the nineteenth century and presents the construction phases of Haifa Station. Considering the period, the intentions of the various railroad planners exhibited outstanding vision. Even though the first trials failed, they remained determined and, above all, they succeeded in proving that railway projects were feasible…
The Position of the Leadership of the Jewish Yishuv on the Mayoralty of Haifa and Preparations for Elections, 1940–1947
Hasan Bey Shukri and His Contribution to the Integration of Jews in the Haifa Municipality at the Time of the British Mandate
The relations established between the Jews and the Haifa mayor Hasan Bey Shukri were undoubtedly one of the special and fascinating features in the history of the Jewish–Arab conflict at the time of the Mandate. Shukri's ability to create a common language with the Jews made the Municipality an institution graced with cooperation whose like did not exist in other mixed cities in Mandatory Palestine. It was particularly evident in the setting of t…
Cooperation Is the Guiding Principle
Municipal governance was the only administrative field shared by Arabs and Jews during the Mandate period. Its study in the context of mandatory Haifa enables us to explore the conditions under which Jews and Arabs were able to forge a joint political framework and to promote beneficial relations between the two communities. Cooperation in Haifa's municipal council was a unique manifestation, not shared by other mixed cities, and it was particula…

Separate or Mixed Municipalities? Attitudes of Jewish Yishuv Leadership to the Mixed Municipality during the British Mandate
Introduction When conquered by the British in the First World War, Pales—tine had twenty-two municipalities. Most of them operated in the Arab towns, while others were found in mixed cities. The phrase "mixed municipality" derives from the "Mixed City," a term coined by the Mandatory government in Palestine.1 In the course of the Mandate period, the development of the Jewish-Arab conflict brought about a strengthening as mixed cities grew in impo…

Changes in the design of the urban space of the Arabs of Haifa during the Israeli War of Independence
The Israeli War of Independence caused far-reaching changes in the cultural landscape of Palestine, which necessitate many geographical studies to complete our understanding of the history of the period. The boundaries of Israel were determined by this war, but the main effect was the alteration in the composition and aspect of the population. The major change resulted from the mass abandonment of the country by most of the Arab population (who f…
