Organizations/movement: Palestinian National Congress; Arab Executive Committee. Action: The Jerusalem congress, continuing to 4 June, decided to take the Palestinian case directly to the British political centre. Result: A delegation was authorized, moving the campaign into sustained overseas diplomacy. Impact / interpretation: The decision linked domestic organizing with lobbying in the imperial capital. It reflected a hope that argument and political pressure could change British commitments, a hope subsequently limited by Britainโ€™s adherence to the national-home policy.
