In 1937 the British Royal Commission headed by Lord Peel proposed
solving the Arab-Jewish conflict by partitioning Palestine into two
nation-states. The concept of partition in exchange for a state was
acceptable to the Jewish Agency Executive, but not the details set
out by the Royal Commission, and thus in 1937-38 the Agency
formulated an alternative plan for consideration by the British
authorities.
At the core of the proposal was the issue of borders - a key factor
in every partition plan - but the Agency's suggestions and
preparations for a Jewish state addressed additional elements
including the question of Jerusalem; population transfer; the
status of the Arab minority in the future Jewish state; stages in
the establishment; and plans covering governance, foreign policy,
immigration and development, religion and state, finance and
security.
In this work Yossi Katz shows that the Jewish Agency Executive's
partition plan, though never implemented, was not an isolated
episode, but had short- and long-term implications from the Jewish
perspective - that as well as having an impact on the immediate
settlement policies, it also had significant effect on the
partition of Palestine in the late 1940s, and on shaping the
state-in-formation.
