About this Item

4to. XI, (1), 187 pp., final blank page. Original printed wrappers. First edition. Detailed account of the United Nations deliberations on the Palestine problem - the last phase in the historical process leading to the creation of the State of Israel. Inscribed by the author: "To Ian, with my deepest gratitude for your valuable aid in the completion of my study / Joe''. - After British efforts to mediate a negotiated solution with Jewish and Arab representatives failed, the Palestine issue was referred to the newly formed United Nations on 14 February 1947. The discussions on Palestine in the United Nations, from February 1947 until mid-1948, are recounted here, outlining the First Special Session of the General Assembly (April 28 to May 15, 1947), which decided to establish the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP); the deliberations of UNSCOP and its recommendations; the decision of the General Assembly of 29 November 1947 on the partition of Palestine; and the deliberations at the UN up to the middle of 1948, which tried to cope with the worsening tensions between Jews and Arabs, including the Bernadotte Plan and the Negev conflict. On 14 May 1948, the day before the expiration of the British Mandate, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, declared "the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel". The following day, the armies of four Arab countries - Egypt, Syria, Transjordan and Iraq - entered what had been Mandatory Palestine, launching the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The account concludes with the 1949 Armistice Agreements and the de facto recognition of the State of Israel by the British. - Published as a doctoral thesis in political science, submitted before the University of Geneva. - Covers lightly rubbed, a little toned. Internally clean. A good copy. - OCLC 23620289. Seller Inventory # 63949
