17. The prime Minister’s announcement condemning the partition
scheme in Palestine was not altogether unexpected. Some
surprise has been felt that Hikmat Suleiman, whose feelings towards
the pan-Arab cause has heretofore been luke warm, should have posed
as such a strong champion of the Palestinian Arabs; but the
Palestine Report gave him an excellent opportunity of ingratiating
himself with the Arab population here who have been inclined to feel
that the present Government has up to the present shown itself
unsympathetic towards them. Having made this gesture, it is
thought that Hikmat Suleiman has no wish to be further embroiled
in the Palestine dispute, and is unlikely to live up to the
standard which he has set by his outspoken opposition to British
policy in Palestine. R.a.P. Int. Summary).
