Heikal: Generally speaking, the situation in Egypt was characterized by a lack of awareness about what was happening. There were some voices like those of Salih Pasha Harb, Muhammad 'Ali 'Alluba, and 'Abd al-Rahman 'Azzam, the secretary general of the Arab League, as well as a number of Egyptian pan-Arabists who were talking about what was happening in Palestine. But the reaction to what was going on was partly tied up in differing perceptions of Egypt and its role in the area. In the early part of the century there were two primary ideas regarding Egypt's future: loyalty to the Ottoman Califate or Egyptian independence, even if this led to collaboration with the British authorities. The question was finally settled with the revolt of 1919, with independence and negotiations with the British. At this point the pan-Arabist trend in the country was weak and, to a certain degree, mixed with Islam. During the 1920s and 1930s the idea of Arabism began to be voiced more forcefully, but the message was not immediately well understood
