๐Ÿ“… 13 December 1920 ๐Ÿ“ Palestine

Organizations/movement: Palestinian National Congress; Arab Executive Committee. Action: Delegates met in Haifa from 13โ€“19 December, adopted demands for representative national government and established an executive to carry their work forward. Result: The Arab Executive became a recurring centre for delegations, petitions and mobilization. Britain did not grant the requested national sovereignty. Impact / interpretation: A standing leadership made coordination more durable than isolated conferences. Its reliance on notable-led politics also left questions about popular participation and political effectiveness.
