While the conflicts and national aspirations in British mandatory
Palestine in particular and the Middle East in general were evident
before the outbreak of the Second World War, the war itself
accelerated and enhanced national expectations and presented
continuing tactical and strategic dilemmas to British, Arab and
Jewish leaders. British strategic policy during the war failed to
provide answers to the political issues of the growing national
demands in Palestine, and led to severe distrust of British policy
among Arabs and Jews, as the two communities were framing mostly
opposing reactions to wartime developments, and to conflicting
expectations and policies towards post-war solutions for Palestine.
The aim of this work is to analyse the continual development of
strategic plans and political dilemmas that arose during the war
period, which led to the subsequent post-war circumstance where
American and Soviet involvement impacted on the strategic thinking
of all involved parties, notwithstanding the British military
victory. Analysis includes: the pre-war British strategic situation
in Palestine, and the war events in Palestine and its Middle East
neighbour countries (at the military-strategic level and the
repercussions of the outcome of the war for the local Palestinian
population). At the heart of the discussion lies British interests
and policies framed towards Jews and Arabs; analysis of the two
communities' conflicting interests and policies; and the resultant
sea-change in the establishment of the Jewish state which brought
in its wake the emergence of a New Middle East.
