  • The Palestinian National Movement

    The Palestinian National Congress (1918-1934) The First Palestinian National Congress was convened in Jerusalem on December 27, 1919, marking a decisive moment in the organized struggle of the Palestinian people. In the face of Britain’s colonial ambitions in Palestine—most notably its endorsement of the Balfour Declaration—Palestinians began to mobilize politically and socially to defend their national rights. This mobilization first took shape in 1918 with the establishment of a nationwide network of Muslim-Christian Associations, which laid the groundwork for a unified national front. These associations soon spearheaded the holding of seven national congresses between 1919 and 1928, each serving as a representative platform for the Palestinian people. The congresses articulated the Palestinian rejection of the Zionist project and the British Mandate’s policies, while affirming the Palestinians’ demand for independence and self-determination. In hindsight, these gatherings can be seen as the precursors to the sessions of the Palestine National Council (PNC), established in 1964 as the legislative body of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
