ABSTRACT

The conflict over land in Palestine might be considered unique, but land tenure as the cause of a conflict is not. Before specifically focusing on the land tenure system in British Mandate Palestine, it is necessary to examine the politics of the topic across a broader spectrum. Also, to be objective in investigating the creation and implementation of land policies in Mandate Palestine, one must first understand the basics and the importance of land tenure systems, as well as the most accurate way of studying a land tenure system and the land registry records of a land conflict.
