Palestine was established as a legal sovereign state in 1920, by the Treaty of Sevilles, and the Treaty of San Remo.
Awesome!
Who were the Palestinian government officials?
What was their currency and what was the exchange rate?
Here is where we usually see a skip and jump.During 1917 and 1918, Palestine was occupied by the British army, who set up a military administration. The official currency was the Egyptian pound, which had been first introduced into Egypt in 1834, but several other currencies were legal tender at fixed exchange rates that were vigorously enforced.
Claiming that these decisions were “an attempt to topple the PA and push it to the brink financially,” Shtayyeh added that the “acts of robbery, theft, and revenge by the occupying force will not dissuade our people and its leadership from continuing their political, diplomatic, and legal struggle.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Jan. 10, 2023]
Your silly conspiracy theory is a hoot.Here is where we usually see a skip and jump.
In 1924 the Treaty of Lausanne ceded the territory and sovereignty to Palestine. Anything foreigners did after that time was a violation of Palestinian sovereignty.
(COMMENT)Your silly conspiracy theory is a hoot.
opy/KS | 25 February 1948 |
The British administration had no land, and had no sovereignty.Palestine is today a legal entity but it is not a sovereign state. Palestine is a territory administered under mandate by His Majesty (in respect of the United Kingdom), who is entirely responsible both for its internal administration and for its foreign affairs.
All you have is illegal foreign intervention.RE: Who Are The Palestinians " III "
SUBTOPIC: The Treaty of Lausanne
※→ P F Tinmore, Hollie, et al,
Unless he can point to the specific authority in there Treaty, then his claim is unsubstantiated.
(COMMENT)
There was no such thing as the State of Palestine before The Great War (WWI) and there was no State of Palestine after the Termination of the Mandate.
He just doesn't get it. You are wasting your breath on him in this matter.
opy/KS 25 February 1948MEMORANDUM “A”
LEGAL MEANING OF THE “TERMINATION OF THE MANDATE”
Palestine is today a legal entity but it is not a sovereign state. Palestine is a territory administered under mandate by His Majesty (in respect of the United Kingdom), who is entirely responsible both for its internal administration and for its foreign affairs.
2. After the 15th May, 1948, Palestine will continue to be a legal entity but it will still not be a sovereign state because it will not be immediately self-governing. The authority responsible for its administration will, however, have changed.
3. Where the sovereignty of Palestine lies at the present time in a disputed and perhaps academic legal question about which writers have expressed a number of different conclusions. Where the sovereignty of Palestine will lie after the 15th May, 1948; is perhaps also a question on which different views will be held but so far as His Majesty’s Government are aware, it is a question which it is unnecessary to answer in connection with any practical issues.
4. After the 15th May, 1948, the United Nations Commission will be the Government of Palestine. It does not seem very material whether it is considered to be the de facto or the de jure Government. In any case, its title to be the Government of Palestine will rest on the resolution of the General Assembly.
5. His Majesty’s Government will recognise the United Nations Commission as the authority with which to make an agreement regarding the transfer of the assets of the Government of Palestine.
6. The present employees of the Palestine Administration are the servants of the Crown of the United Kingdom in right of its Government of Palestine. The existing contracts of employment of such employees are automatically terminated when His Majesty ceases to be responsible for the government of Palestine because they never agreed to serve any other authority than. His Majesty:
7. Subject to the views set out above on the legal position and the action necessarily following from those views, all proper assistance will be given to the Commission in making arrangements for continuing the employment of all officials in office on the same terms as they enjoy at present and with the same rights, on the understanding that it will be open to the officials concerned voluntarily to accept or refuse any offer made by the Commission.
Most Respectfully,

The British administration had no land, and had no sovereignty.
All you have is illegal foreign intervention.
Same thing.All you have is Israel.
Indeed, it sounds like illegal external interference.It was a sovereign state without its own government and without its own currency?
Doesn't sounds sovereign at all.
Indeed. What was illegal?Indeed, it sounds like illegal external interference.
PA prime minister Shtayyeh "called on the United Nations and all international human rights organizations to intervene urgently to provide protection for Palestinian people and stop the bloodshed of children, youth and women."Palestinian Presidential Spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said Israeli government is committing a massacre in Jenin and its refugee camp, amidst international silence.
He added that the international silence is what encourages the occupation government to commit massacres against Palestinian people before the eyes of the world.
What wasn't?Indeed. What was illegal?
Indeed, your usual sidestep.What wasn't?
