Founded in 1929, the Jewish Agency played a central role in the
founding of the State of Israel. Throughout the 1920s, 30s and 40s,
many secret meetings took place between the JA and Arab leaders and
elites. The dominant narrative claims that Syrian leaders and
elites were not involved in any such meetings. However, this book
reveals for the first time that a multitude of secret meetings and
negotiations took place including with the Syrian National Block -
the official Syrian leadership at the time - and the Shahbandari
opposition and leaders of Jabal al-Druze. Based mainly on primary
sources from Israeli archives, including documentation of
discussions, reports and decisions taken by the JA leadership, the
book tells a new story of a critical period of history, the Arab
Revolt of 1936-1939 in Palestine. Mahmoud Muhareb argues that the
main historic objective of the JA was to reach agreements with Arab
leaders and Arab states, behind the back of the Palestinians and at
their expense, and to normalize its relations with the Arab states
while it continued to deny the national rights of the Palestinians.
The book challenges Israeli and Syrian official narratives and
substantiates the Palestinian narrative, as well as some Israeli
new historians who asserted Israel refusal to recognize the
national rights of the Palestinians and affirmed its attempts to
reach a comprehensive settlement with the Arab states at the
expense of the Palestinians. The book includes Arabic and Hebrew
sources translated into English for readers.
