The First Arab-Israeli War Documentary || UNSCOP and the Partition Resolution – Part 01

Welcome to A-Z History! On 14 February 1947, the British cabinet decided to wash its hands of Palestine and dump the problem in the lap of the United Nations. Ernest Bevin was later to say: "The Arabs, like the Jews, had refused to accept any of the compromise proposals which HMG had put before both parties." The military chiefs of staff were unhappy with the decision; it would open the door to Soviet penetration and subvert the morale of the troops in Palestine. But Clement Attlee and Bevin had already decided, in principle, in a tête-à-tête on 27 December 1946, that in the new, postwar circumstances, Britain could give up Palestine and Egypt as well as Greece, and the cabinet stood firm: Britain had made what it saw as a series of reasonable offers and no one was interested. And the United States, far from expressing a willingness to shoulder or share responsibility, was continuously subverting Britain's efforts. "We have decided that we are unable to accept the scheme put forward either by the Arabs or by the Jews, or to impose ourselves a solution of our own.... The only course now open to us is to submit the problem to the judgment of the United Nations," Bevin told the House of Commons on 18 February 1947, adding that Britain would not recommend to the United Nations "any particular solution." The international community would have to take up the burden and chart a settlement. During the London conference, the Arabs had not been averse to the problem going before the United Nations, where they anticipated a favorable outcome. Conversely, the Zionist delegates had been wary. This may have affected Bevin's decision. #history #azhistory #explorehistory #historicalevents #documentary
