1931: The “Passfield White Paper” incenses the Zionist movement as it deemed it a threat to their fundamental goal for a national home in Palestine, resulting in mass Zionist protests throughout London. This pressures the then Prime Minister, Ramsay Macdonald to send a letter to Zionist leader, Chaim Weizmann, in February, which effectively rejects the “Passfield White Paper” and confirms a return to the “1922 White Paper” agreement.
In December, delegates from 22 Muslim countries gather in Jerusalem known as the World Islamic Congress. Organised by Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Shaukat Ali, leader of the Indian Caliphate Committee, the purpose of the gathering is to deliberate on the growing Palestine issue and warn against the increasing influence of Zionism.
