Arab Reactions to the Palestinian Cause
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Palestinian issue has constituted a major turning point and a milestone in the Arab history since its emergence. This is due to its great internal developments, its continuous events and its external repercussions on the Arab and international levels. This research discusses the political developments on the Palestinian arena in the period between 1932 - 1938 and the official and popular Arab reactions to them. However, Arab reactions to those events during the mentioned period had a great impact and a decisive factor for most of the events, to the extent that things changed their course, especially in the Great Palestinian Revolution of 1936. The Arab reactions varied in their size and effectiveness from one state to another depending on their circumstances, capabilities, internal political situation and external connections. Perhaps Iraq is at the forefront of the Arab countries, officially and popularly present on the Palestinian arena, as the only independent Arab state at that time, not to mention the nature of the relationship that it had with Britain, the active and decisive party on the Palestinian arena, followed by Egypt and then other Arab countries.
