"La questione palestinese nella politica dell’emiro hashemita Abdullah dalla formazione della Transgiordania alla vigilia della Seconda Guerra Mondiale (1919-1939)"
This paper aims at analyzing the vicissitudes of the Arab
territories
of Palestine and Transjordan from the perspective
of the efforts made by the Transjordanian
royal house in the scope of their
peculiar role in the Middle East politics of
that period. The core of the analysis consists
of the joint consideration of the Transjordan
aspirations and of the new geopolitic realities
that were taking place in Palestine.
Starting from different institutional and
territorial conditions, the pro-Sionist facets
of the Great Britain’s foreign policy were
perceived differently from the Arabs on
both sides of the Jordan river. While the
exclusion of Transjordan from the Sionist
project represented an achievement for the
Transjordanian royal house, the increasing
Jewish immigration on the west bank of
the Jordan river represented, both in its entity
and its modalities, the confirmation of
a wrong course of action by the Cisjordanians.
In a political context where, despite
the technicalities of the diplomatic relations
and the outer attitude, Great Britain’s foreign
policy oscillated continuously, indeed,
between the support to the Sionist aims in
Cisjordan and the support to the consolidation
of an institutional and territorial reality
in Transjordan. The Transjordan-Palestinian
relations reflect the fundamental duplicity of
field situations determined more and more
by overwhelming power schemes rather
than international law fairness or equity.
