Palestine as a territorial entity has experienced a curious
history. Until World War I, Palestine was part of the sprawling
Ottoman Empire. After the war, Palestine came under the
administration of Great Britain by an arrangement with the League
of Nations. In 1948 Israel established itself in part of
Palestine's territory, and Egypt and Jordan assumed administration
of the remainder. By 1967 Israel took control of the sectors
administered by Egypt and Jordan and by 1988 Palestine reasserted
itself as a state. Recent years saw the international community
acknowledging Palestinian statehood as it promotes the goal of two
independent states, Israel and Palestine, co-existing peacefully.
This book draws on evidence from the 1924 League of Nations mandate
to suggest that Palestine was constituted as a state at that time.
Palestine remained a state after 1948, even as its territory
underwent permutation, and this book provides a detailed account of
how Palestine has been recognized until the present day.
