Royal Commission on Palestine

The Royal Commission on Palestine, established in 1936 by the British government, was a formal investigation into escalating unrest and violence in Palestine, then under British control. It aimed to understand the causes of tensions between Jewish and Arab communities and to recommend how to achieve peace and stability. The commission examined political, social, and economic issues, ultimately proposing policies such as limited Jewish immigration and increased Arab self-governance. Its findings influenced British policies in the region, but also contributed to ongoing conflicts and debates about the future of Palestine.
