Partner to Partition: The Jewish Agency's Partition Plan in the Mandate Era

Front Cover
Routledge, 2014 M01 14 - 224 pages
In this work Yossi Katz shows that the Jewish Agency Executive's partition plan, though never implemented, was not an isolated episode, but had short- and long-term implications from the Jewish perspective - that as well as having an impact on the immediate settlement policies, it also had significant effect on the partition of Palestine in the late 1940s, and on shaping the state-in-formation.
