LAW AND THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT WITH STEVEN E. ZIPPERSTEIN

During the British Mandate for Palestine (1922–1948), Arabs and Jews repeatedly used the law to gain leverage and influence international opinion, especially in three dramatic and largely forgotten trials involving two issues: the interplay between conflicting British promises to the Arabs and Jews during World War I, and the parties’ rights and claims to the Wailing Wall. It focuses on how all three parties – Arab, Jewish, and British – used the law and the legal process to advance their objectives during the Mandate years. This study explores the origins of many of the fundamental legal arguments in the Arab–Israeli conflict that prevail to this day. Filling a gap in research, this is a key text for scholars and students interested in the Arab–Israeli conflict and the Middle East.
