Akhir Mandat Britania untuk Palestina

Revisi sejak 19 Desember 2023 05.01 oleh MuzakkiRamadhanakbar (bicara | kontrib) (menerjemahkan→Palestina)

Berakhirnya Mandat Inggris untuk Palestina secara resmi ditetapkan melalui RUU Palestina tanggal 29 April 1948.[1] Pernyataan publik yang disiapkan oleh Kantor Kolonial dan Luar Negeri menegaskan penghentian tanggung jawab Inggris atas pemerintahan Palestina mulai tengah malam tanggal 14 Mei 1948.[2][3]

"Palestine: Termination of the Mandate," the official British Government publication on termination, providing a historical assessment of the mandate and reasons for its termination.

Latar Belakang

Mandat Palestina diciptakan pada akhir Perang Dunia Pertama setelah pembubaran Kesultanan Utsmaniyah. Pada tahun 1920 Inggris dianugerahi mandat untuk Palestina oleh Liga Bangsa-Bangsa, untuk menjalankan pemerintahan hingga wilayah tersebut "mampu berdiri sendiri".[4] Buku Putih 1939 mengatur pembentukan negara Palestina merdeka dalam waktu 10 tahun.[5] Seperti yang dijelaskan oleh Malcolm MacDonald pada pertemuan Komisi Mandat Permanen tahun 1939, pada saat itu belum jelas bentuk negara seperti apa yang akan diambil.[6][a]

Konferensi Yalta bulan Februari 1945 menyetujui bahwa pengaturan akan dibuat untuk menyediakan perwalian Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa untuk Mandat Liga yang ada.[7]

Pada bulan Juli 1945, Laporan Harrison diterbitkan,[8][b] menggambarkan kondisi kamp pengungsi di Eropa pasca-Perang Dunia II.

Pada bulan Oktober 1945, Menteri Luar Negeri saat itu Bevin mengatakan kepada kabinet bahwa Inggris bermaksud menyerahkan masalah Palestina ke PBB, namun Inggris akan dituduh menghindari tanggung jawabnya jika Inggris tidak melakukan upaya sendiri terlebih dahulu. dalam menyelesaikan situasi tersebut.[9]

Liga Bangsa-Bangsa pada pertemuan terakhirnya pada tanggal 18 April 1946 setuju untuk melikuidasi dan mentransfer seluruh asetnya ke PBB.[10] Majelis juga mengeluarkan resolusi yang menyetujui dan menyambut baik niat pemerintah Inggris untuk memberikan kemerdekaan kepada Transyordania.[11][12]

Laporan Komite Penyelidikan Anglo-Amerika diterbitkan pada 20 April 1946.[13]

Bagian dari mandat sehubungan dengan Transyordania secara hukum berakhir pada tanggal 17 Juni 1946 dengan ratifikasi Perjanjian London.[14]

Pada bulan Juli 1946, sebuah komite yang dibentuk untuk menetapkan bagaimana proposal Anglo-Amerika akan dilaksanakan mengusulkan Rencana Morrison – Grady.

Menyusul kegagalan Konferensi London tentang Palestina 1946–1947, yang mana Amerika Serikat menolak untuk mendukung Inggris sehingga berujung pada Rencana Morrison–Grady dan Rencana Bevin karena ditolak oleh semua pihak, Inggris memutuskan untuk mengajukan pertanyaan tersebut ke PBB pada 14 Februari 1947.[15][c]

Komite Khusus PBB untuk Palestina (UNSCOP) dibentuk pada tanggal 15 Mei 1947, dilaporkan pada tanggal 3 September 1947 dan pada tanggal 29 November 1947, Rencana Pemisahan PBB untuk Palestina disahkan. Direkomendasikan agar Mandat diakhiri sesegera mungkin dan paling lambat tanggal 1 Agustus 1948.[16]

Dua minggu kemudian, pada tanggal 11 Desember, Sekretaris Kolonial Arthur Creech Jones mengumumkan bahwa Mandat Inggris akan berakhir pada tanggal 15 Mei 1948.[17][d]

PBB

Inggris meminta agar persoalan Palestina dimasukkan ke dalam agenda Sidang Reguler Kedua Majelis Umum dan agar Sidang Khusus diadakan untuk membentuk Panitia Khusus guna mempersiapkan pertimbangan Majelis mengenai masalah tersebut. Sidang Khusus Pertama Majelis Umum diadakan antara tanggal 28 April dan 15 Mei 1947 untuk mempertimbangkan permintaan Inggris. Upaya yang dilakukan oleh lima anggota PBB yang berasal dari Arab (Mesir, Irak, Lebanon, Arab Saudi dan Suriah) untuk menambahkan satu item ke dalam agenda yang membahas "penghentian Mandat atas Palestina dan deklarasi kemerdekaannya" tidak berhasil.[19]

Setelah laporan UNSCOP dipublikasikan, Komite Ad Hoc untuk Masalah Palestina dibentuk melalui pemungutan suara pada Sidang Reguler Kedua Majelis Umum pada tanggal 24 September 1947.

Peraturan yang mengatur pengalihan tanah dan klausul yang berkaitan dengan imigrasi diterapkan meskipun pada tahun 1944, 24.000 dari 75.000 sertifikat imigrasi masih tersisa untuk digunakan. Batasan imigrasi dilonggarkan untuk memungkinkan imigrasi sebesar 18.000 per tahun sebagai reaksi terhadap situasi pengungsi Yahudi di Eropa.[20]

Dengan berakhirnya perang, Pemerintahan Partai Buruh yang baru, dipimpin oleh Clement Attlee, dengan Ernest Bevin sebagai Menteri Luar Negeri, memutuskan untuk mempertahankan kebijakan Buku Putih.

Segera setelah resolusi PBB, perang saudara tahun 1947–1948 di Mandat Palestina pecah antara komunitas Arab dan Yahudi. Pada hari terakhir Mandat, pembentukan Negara Israel diproklamasikan, dan Perang Arab-Israel 1948 dimulai. Pada bulan Maret 1948, Kabinet Inggris telah menyetujui bahwa otoritas sipil dan militer di Palestina tidak boleh melakukan upaya apa pun untuk menentang pendirian Negara Yahudi atau perpindahan ke Palestina dari Transyordania.[21]

Sir Henry Gurney menjabat sebagai Sekretaris Utama di Palestina dari Oktober 1946 hingga pemberhentiannya dan menulis buku harian yang mencakup periode tersebut.[22] Sebuah tinjauan oleh sejarawan Rory Miller menyetujui keputusan editor Golani untuk memasukkan penjelasan dan perspektif ilmiah yang terperinci ke dalam buku harian tersebut.[23]

Arab response

On 22 March 1945, the Arab League was founded. The Arab Higher Committee (AHC) was reconstituted in November 1945 to represent Palestinian Arabs [24] and met at the beginning of May 1946 to consider their response to the publication of the Anglo American report.[25] The Arab states reacted with summit meetings at Inshas at the end of May and Bloudan in June.[26] After the failure of the London Conference and UN referral the Arabs continued to press their demand for an immediate independent Arab Palestine.[27]

Jordan

Abdullah had connections with Zionists and Palestine over many years, according to an account given by historian Mary Wilson.[28] Historians have described a meeting between Abdullah and the Jewish Agency on 17 November 1947 during which Abdullah is alleged to have reached an understanding in regard to Abdullah's intent to occupy the Arab territories of the partition plan.[29][30][31] Following the end of the mandate, the Jordanian Arab Legion, under the leadership of Sir John Bagot Glubb, known as Glubb Pasha, was ordered to enter Palestine and secure the UN designated Arab area.[32]

Zionist response

In May 1942, the Biltmore Conference in New York City with 600 delegates and Zionist leaders from 18 countries attending, demands "that Palestine be established as a Jewish Commonwealth" (state), rather than a "homeland".[33]

American response

At the end of August 1945, U.S. President Harry Truman issues a statement requesting the British government to admit 100,000 Jewish refugees in Europe into Palestine.[34] On 14 May 1948, the United States de facto recognized the provisional Jewish government contemporaneously declared (de jure recognition on 31 January 1949).

Law professor Shabtai Rosenne says that there is no clear answer as to why the British took this step and lists miscalculation as well as political and military fatigue among others.[35] Ravndal cites works from the 1980s establishing that the British were motivated by "economic necessity and plain exhaustion" but then goes on to posit that the British were motivated by a Cold War desire to secure Britain's interests in the rest of the Middle East.[15] A summary of different views is given by Benny Morris.[24]:38

Mandates were intended to end with the independence of the Mandated territory. The British government had taken the position that there was nothing in law to prevent termination due to frustration of purpose.[36] In the event, the UNSCOP report recommended both that the Mandate be terminated and independence granted at the earliest practicable dates with a transition period between these events.[16]

Notes

  1. ^ As I say, it would be premature now to attempt even to sketch the constitutional provisions which would be most appropriate to secure "the essential interests" of the Arabs and the Jews. It may be that the State should be formed on a unitary basis; it may be that it should be a federal state. It may be that the best arrangement would be to establish a predominantly Arab province or provinces, and a predominantly Jewish province or provinces, and to give to each of these political units a large measure of local autonomy under a central government dealing with matters of common concern between them. What is essential is that each people, both the Arabs and the Jews, should be free to live its own life according to its own traditions and beliefs and genius.
  2. ^ Penkower, 2016, pages 56–58: "The official British response could be foretold. Truman's 24 July request of Churchill had already set Near East specialist Beeley's teeth on edge, indicating to him that the Zionists had been "deploringly successful in selling the idea" that, even after Allied victory, immigration to Palestine represented for many Jews "their only hope for survival." Wishing to avoid a postwar influx of Jews into Palestine, the Foreign Office's Refugee Department had expressed the fear in March 1944 that British trials of Germans on charges of crimes against humanity committed against Jews would convince survivors not to return to their native countries after the war. Whitehall's expert on refugees, Ian Henderson, was convinced that the Zionists were behind Harrison's recommendations. British military authorities in Germany rejected Harrison's criticism, claiming that Jews were being treated exactly like all other displaced persons... In Bevin's mind, Harrison's report was "not based on real investigation." Bevin told Weizmann that Truman was merely trying to gain votes by his stance; the United States had to take its share of those Jews who must be removed from Europe."
  3. ^ The reasons for this decision were explained by His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in a speech to the House of Commons on 18 February 1947, in which he said:- "His Majesty's Government have been faced with an irreconcilable conflict of principles. There are in Palestine about 1,200,000 Arabs and 600,000 Jews. For the Jews the essential point of principle is the creation of a sovereign Jewish State. For the Arabs, the essential point of principle is to resist to the last establishment of Jewish sovereignty in any part of Palestine. The discussions of the last month have quite clearly shown that there is no prospect of resolving this conflict by any settlement negotiated between the parties. But if the conflict has to be resolved by an arbitrary decision, that is not a decision which His Majesty's Government are empowered, as Mandatory, to take. His Majesty's Government have of themselves no power, under the terms of the Mandate, to award the country either to the Arabs or to the Jews, or even to partition it between them."
  4. ^ Creech Jones stated to the House of Commons: "Before the conclusion of the discussions, Sir Alexander Cadogan announced on behalf of the Government that the withdrawal of our Forces and administration would be effected by 1 August 1948... It will be appreciated that the mandatory responsibility for government in Palestine cannot be relinquished piecemeal. The whole complex of governmental responsibilities must be relinquished by the Mandatory Government for the whole of Palestine on an appointed day. As I have indicated, once our military withdrawal is properly under way, the forces necessary for exercising this responsibility will no longer be adequately available, and it will not, therefore, be possible to retain full mandatory responsibility after a certain date. The Mandate will, therefore, be terminated some time in advance of the completion of the withdrawal, and the date we have in mind for this, subject to negotiation with the United Nations Commission, is 15 May."[18]
