When I first saw the news reports from European and American countries about the Syrian army's sweep of Palestine, the officers and men of the League of Nations peacekeeping force deployed in Jerusalem were indeed melancholy for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf the armies of the Arab kingdoms have been inactive, then their current strength is not enough to deter and prevent the main force of the Syrian army from invading Jerusalem, once the Syrian army is in the city, it is impossible for the peacekeeping force to fight with it, but it is impossible for the European countries involved in sending peacekeeping troops to sit idly by and watch the Syrians occupy Jerusalem by force, so this kind of problem is usually solved in a political and diplomatic way - or Western countries use the name of the League of Nations to coerce Syria to withdraw its troops, Either Syria is desperate to seize Jerusalem, and the League of Nations peacekeepers withdraw without a fight......

Fortunately, this international incident ended with the Syrian army retreating on its own after being defeated outside Tel Aviv. In the course of the incident, the Syrian army did not approach Jerusalem, but no one can say that the Syrians have no ambitions for Jerusalem, after all, this religious holy city is the core of the Palestinian region, and the Syrians have made no secret of their desire to occupy Palestine in recent years. As a result, there was a growing divide within the League of Nations Executive Committee on the issue of a peacekeeping operation in Jerusalem, with some countries arguing that additional peacekeeping troops should be sent to Jerusalem to ensure that the city of great religious and historical significance would not be ravaged by war and violence, while others believed that the entire peacekeeping force should be withdrawn from Jerusalem and that Syria and the Arab kingdom should negotiate a definitive settlement of their territorial dispute in the Palestinian areas.

The question of the future of the peacekeeping operation in Jerusalem lies not in the position of the Executive Committee of the League of Nations and its members, but in the resolution of the territorial dispute between Syria and the Arab kingdoms. With the mediation of the League of Nations, Syria and the Arab kingdom returned to the negotiating table once again, but endless disputes and debates followed. In essence, the Syrians were eager to acquire the land and the people who lived in it, so as to enrich their country, and the rulers of the Arab kingdom had no attachment to this disputed land, but demanded a sufficiently decent way to resolve the dispute, and they proposed either economic compensation or a territorial exchange, but the Syrians could neither afford to provide huge financial compensation, nor were they willing to cede the mineral-rich southeastern provinces, and when they were determined to raise loans from Turkey and Western countries, The rulers of the Arab kingdom changed their minds and agreed only to cede to the Syrians the relatively economically underdeveloped areas north of Jerusalem, and that the rest of the country, including Jerusalem, especially the rich coastal areas, was "the sacred and inalienable territory of the Arab kingdom."

For these two Arab countries, if there is no problem at the negotiating table, it will have to resort to force. Although the Syrian army had suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the Jews, they still had strength and could soon make a comeback after a little rest, and the elite troops that had previously broken into the Palestinian areas were still massing in the border area. Although the Arab kingdom did not lose a single soldier, the royal family, the government, and the top of the military were all notorious for passively avoiding war, which led to a decline in prestige and a shaken position. In order to save face, they sent their elite -- less than three days after the Syrian army withdrew, the Guards Regiment of the Arab Kingdom, known as the "No. 1 Heroic Division in the Middle East," marched into Palestine.

However, instead of condolences and commendations for the Jewish militias who fought against the invaders with their blood and lives, the rulers of the Arab kingdom put on a posture of purging the illegal armed forces.

After the cruel test of war, the Zionists became more and more aware of the necessity and urgency of establishing a Jewish state, and they were not willing to let the great efforts and sacrifices they had made before be wasted, so when they learned that the government of the Arab kingdom was about to march into Tel Aviv to take over the situation, they quickly set up defensive positions on the way into the city, so as to confront the advance force of the government army of the Arab kingdom. The Palestinian region is certainly a disputed and chaotic place, but it is at least nominally under the jurisdiction of the Arab Kingdom, and its inhabitants are all subjects of the Arab Kingdom, not to mention the fact that the situation here is receiving widespread attention from European and American countries. The culpability for disturbing local order is not culpable.

The official demands of the Arab kingdom were naturally unwilling to be accepted by the Zionists, who tentatively demanded that Palestine be classified as an autonomous region, but were forcefully refused. In order to put pressure on the Jewish militia in Tel Aviv, the Arab kingdom brought in a large force to surround Tel Aviv by land on three north, south, and south sides. In the battle of Hadera Town, the Jewish militia fought against more than 20,000 Syrian troops with 5,000 people in the extreme state, while the Guards Regiment of the Arab Kingdom had a Guards Cavalry Division, two Guards Infantry Divisions, and a Guards Artillery Division, with a total strength of more than 60,000 troops, and was supported by local Arabs. Once the two sides went to war, the already exhausted Jews had no chance of winning.

At a time when the Zionists were at a loss, the Executive Committee of the League of Nations, ignoring the opposition of the Arab kingdoms, made a decision to send military observers to West Palestine, which granted amnesty to the beleaguered Jews and, to their delight, only twenty hours later, a German detachment on duty in the Mediterranean was the first to arrive on the west coast of Palestine. Five League of Nations observers, escorted by 140 heavily armed German marines, landed on this ancient and mysterious land, but instead of going directly to the center of the storm of confrontation between the Jewish forces and the government forces of the Arab Kingdom, they went to the town of Hadera, north of Tel Aviv, to inspect the remains of the battlefield, and seemed to be curious about the fact that the Jewish militia, mainly militia, had contained a large number of regular Syrian troops. At the same time, German warplanes from aircraft carriers continued to circle around Tel Aviv – and although Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany had no good opinion of Jews, these planes with the striking Iron Cross logo on their wings helped to ease tensions in Tel Aviv to a great extent.

The Germans decided to take action, and the Italians, who had always coveted the resources of the Middle East, were not far behind. Their warships set off from the port of Taranto, following in the footsteps of the Germans, joining in a peacekeeping operation that was far more politically important than military. The difference was that, thanks to the Jewish hospitality, the Italians sailed directly into the port of Tel Aviv and sent a peacekeeping force of 200 marines into the city. The Italian observers paraded around the city with great poignant pride and were led by Jews to observe the scene of their confrontation with the government forces of the Arab kingdom and to talk to the commanders of the Arab government forces with great fanfare. The presence of the Italians annoyed but helpless the Arabs, fearing that they would be sanctioned by the League of Nations, fearing that Tel Aviv would become a place of hostage for the peacekeeping forces like Jerusalem, so they quickly lifted the total blockade of Tel Aviv and caused the troops to retreat some distance, but the heavy artillery of the Guards Artillery Division could still bombard Tel Aviv at any time, and the crisis between the Palestinian Jews and the Arab kingdom was not really resolved.

A few days later, the representative of the new United Kingdom presented a proposal for self-government in the Palestinian areas at a meeting of the Council of the League of Nations. In the absence of a fruitful bilateral negotiation table, it is indeed a relatively common practice to create a buffer zone in the form of regional autonomy, and the dignitaries of all the members of the League of Nations, including Germany, have been lobbied by the Jewish plutocracy, especially after the Syrian invasion of Palestine has been deeply fermented, and the Palestinian Jews have gained widespread attention and sympathy, and all the members voted in favor of the new United Kingdom's proposal. Although the fate of Palestine remains to be finalized by the League of Nations Assembly more than three months later, the adoption of its self-government plan is almost a foregone conclusion.

At this point, the hard struggle of the Jews finally came to an end, and the autonomy of the Palestinian areas brought them a big step towards the goal of independent statehood, but the road ahead was still full of thorns and reached a stage of no return. Considering that Jews make up less than one-third of the Palestinian areas today, they do not work and play a role far enough to make them the leaders of the autonomous government in fair elections, and even if they take power through some special means, the Zionists still face the serious problem of how to manage the many Arab tribes and landlords in the Palestinian areas.

During the next four weeks of military observation, the League of Nations observers finally came to an observation in favor of the Jews: after nearly 70 years of life and development, the Jews have taken root here, they belong to the region, and the Jews organize militias to defend the legitimate interests of the population and maintain stability in the region in the context of the Arab Kingdom's weak control and armed mobs, and the Arab Kingdom should not rudely define it as an illegal armed force.

The League of Nations' observations undoubtedly deprived the Arab government forces of a reason to forcibly disband the Jewish militias, and with the active campaigning of the Jewish chaebols and wealthy businessmen, some high-ranking officials in the Arab Kingdom also made suggestions to the rulers, persuading them to comply with the resolution of the League of Nations Council and to make Palestine an autonomous region. On the other hand, also thanks to the efforts of the Jewish elites, the European countries involved in the peacekeeping operation in Jerusalem finally decided not to increase or withdraw their troops, and the League of Nations peacekeeping force stationed in Jerusalem continued to maintain its current size, and in the Palestinian areas outside Jerusalem military observers and investigators were sent to help the local population maintain regional order.
