Bloudan Conference (1937)

The Bloudan Conference (Arabic transliteration: al-Mu'tamar al-'Arabi al-Qawmi fi Bludan) was a pan-Arab summit held in Bloudan, Syria on 8 September 1937. It was called by the Arab Higher Committee in response to the Peel Commission which recommended the partition of Palestine, then under British control, into Arab and Jewish states. The Peel Commission's recommendations were rejected by the participating delegates while the 1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine against the British authorities and increased Jewish immigration in Palestine was widely supported. The Bloudan Conference held historical significance for being an early display of collective Arab concern regarding the Zionist movement.
