Local reaction to the broadcast of the announcement of
2
the British Government’s proposed policy in Palestine has been
on the whole favourable*
The exception has been a ,, cell ,, formed by a certain
Palestine Arab - Ismail Rassasi - who holds a high official
position in the State. This individual’s implacable hatred of
all things British which leads him at times into a condition of
frenzied hysteria, has enabled him to prejudice a small number
of the local inhabitants over the Palestine question.
Generally,however, the local inertia to all matters
not of direct and imnediate concern has caused little interest
to be ta ice n in the problem of the future of Palestine*
