In parallel, representatives of Arab settlements gathered in Gaza 75 [2] [3] also formed the Palestinian National Council , in one of its first resolutions proclaiming its authority over all Palestine with its capital in Jerusalem [4] [5] . On September 30, the Council was transformed into a Government headed by “President” Mufti Amin al-Husseini . In mid-October, it was recognized by the League of Arab States . [one]
Shortly after its creation, in December of the same year, at the Jericho Conference , Abdullah ibn Hussein was proclaimed "King of Arab Palestine" [6] . The conference called for the unification of Arab Palestine and Transjordan , and Abdullah announced his intention to annex the West Bank . Other members of the Arab League objected to this plan.
There was no real power in Gaza-occupied Gaza.
After the July Revolution in Egypt (1952), Gamal Abdel Nasser increased Egyptian support for the "Palestinian cause." [ clarify ]
The unification of Egypt and Syria in 1958 was a turning point in the history of the All-Palestinian government. Egypt ceased to support him, and in 1959, Nasser, by decree, officially annulled the government. The Gaza Strip was ruled by Egypt until its conquest by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War .
The All-Palestinian government is considered the first attempt to create an independent Arab Palestine.
Origin
British government
At the end of the First World War, Great Britain occupied the Ottoman territory of Palestine. The boundaries of land occupied were not clearly defined. Great Britain and France, the main allied powers with long-term interests in this area, concluded several agreements that created areas of interest between them in this area. Britain sought to legitimize the occupation, having received from the League of Nations a British mandate for Palestine. In the mandated territory, Great Britain created two separate administrations — Palestine and Transjordan — with the stated goal that they would eventually become completely independent. [7]
The Arab population of Palestine opposed the goals set in the mandate, and civil unrest continued throughout the duration of the mandate. There have been unsuccessful attempts to reconcile the Arab community with the growing Jewish population. It was proposed several plans sections. The United Nations proposed a 1947 partition plan, which proposed that the Gaza area become part of the new Arab Palestinian state. The Arab states rejected the UN plan that marked the beginning of the Civil War of 1947-48 in Mandatory Palestine.
British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin said that after twenty-five years, the British were unable to create self-governing institutions in Palestine, which were required by the mandate. Transjordan was recognized as an independent government. Some countries continue to challenge her independent status. [eight]
