A Reading into the Conferences on the Unification of the East and West Banks of Jordan 1948
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Not long after the end of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war—and the resulting loss of Palestinian lands, the displacement of its people, political divisions, the absence of effective leadership, the establishment of the weak All-Palestine Government, and the Arab states' preoccupation with disagreements over whether to recognize that government—there was a general sense of frustration with the Arab League’s stance, which was limited to statements without any concrete action. In light of this reality, most Palestinians saw the optimal solution as working toward the unification of the West Bank with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and calling for King Abdullah to be declared its ruler. To achieve this goal, there emerged a need to support this direction by organizing popular conferences.
