← Back to Dashboard
📅 12 October 1923 📍 Palestine

Organizations/movement: Arab Executive Committee. Action: The Executive answered the High Commissioner’s offer of an Arab body patterned on the Jewish Agency. Result: Palestinian leaders rejected a scheme that treated the Arab population as a separate agency within a framework they disputed. Impact / interpretation: The controversy concerned the difference between communal consultation and governing rights. Institutional parity with another agency did not satisfy a demand for representative government of the country.
