The First Arab-Israeli War Documentary: Staking Claims: The Historical Background - Part 01-02-03

Welcome to A-Z History!
The "depoliticization" of Palestine's Arabs at war's end coincided with the British-supported drive for pan-Arab unity, which had captivated the political imagination of the Middle East since before World War 1. During 25 September- 7 October 1944, delegates from seven Arab countries met in Alexandria and founded "a League ... of Independent Arab States," henceforward known as the Arab League. On 22 March 1945, these states formally signed a pact in Cairo. A secretariat was set up in the Egyptian capital, with the Egyptian 'Abd al-Rahman Azzam as secretary-general.
The Palestinians had sent Musa al-Alami to the gathering in Alexandria. He was designated first an "observer," then a "delegate," the Palestinian Arab community thus enjoying, at least theoretically, an equal footing with existing or emergent Arab states.
At the end of the conference, the delegates issued the Alexandria Protocol. A section was devoted to the issue of Palestine. The Arab states resolved that "Palestine constitutes an important part of the Arab world and that the rights of the Arabs cannot be touched without prejudice to peace and stability in the Arab world." The League endorsed the demand for a stoppage of Jewish immigration, the cessation of land sales, and "independence for Palestine." In light of the international circumstances-almost universal horror over the Holocaust and growing American pressure to resettle the remnants of European Jewry in Palestine-the Arab states declared that they were "second to none in regretting the woes which have been inflicted on the Jews of Europe by European dictatorial states. But the question of these Jews should not be confused with Zionism, for there can be no greater injustice and aggression than solving the problem of the Jews of Europe by another injustice, that is, by inflicting injustice on the Palestine Arabs.
