ABSTRACT
The British White Paper policy on Palestine was published in London on 17 May 1939. Both Jews and Arabs voiced their views against the new policy. In the first years of the war, the grave situation and the danger to Palestine led all sides to relative cooperation and the postponement of their political objectives. The British government was debating the future of Palestine but the murder of Lord Moyne stopped its progress. Nevertheless, the struggle over clandestine Jewish immigration and Britain's immigration policy in view of the progress of Holocaust in Europe was to effect the conflict until the end of the mandate.
