Palestinians and the partition plan

In his article Mustafa Kabha presents a general sketch of the positions of the Palestinian side at the major crossroads which led to the establishment of the Jewish national home: beginning with the Balfour Declaration and the Mandate, through the Peel Commission and the “White Paper,” and ending with the UN partition resolution in November 1947. According to Kabha, the public discussion about the Palestinian side’s position regarding the partition plan suffers from broad generalizations. Therefore, in his article, Kabha seeks to present the Palestinian side in all of its complexity, with all the different groups which it included, and the variety of interests and positions which characterized these groups.
