Demand for a parliament in palestine

Reference no: EM13159910

Meeting with a Palestinian Arab delegation in May 1930, Lord Passfield, the British colonial secretary, rejected its demand for a parliament in Palestine "elected by the people in proportion to their numbers, irrespective of race and creed." Instead, he suggested - as had British officials before him - that they create an Arab Agency along the lines of the Jewish Agency set up in accordance with the terms of the Mandate. Putting aside potential British, why were the Arabs both unwilling and unable to create an Arab Agency? Would an Arab Agency have bee a good idea or not?
