ABSTRACT
The delimitation of Palestine’s boundaries during the British period had ended in the middle of the 1920s, and it seemed as if the long discussion in regard to this delimitation had fixed clear and secure borderlines for many years to come. British policy makers believed that by delimitating Palestine, they had defined the territorial unit in which they had vowed to apply the plans and policies set out in the mandate for Palestine. This approach planned to establish one single state within the mandated Palestine, and it greatly affected the activities and developments in the area all through the 1920s, until the 1929 events brought with them the first fissures. Jewish-Arab tension increased, and it led to a different perspective on the country’s territorial future.
