Although Britain’s strategies were not aimed at establishing a colony in the region, the foundations of British policy were designed to promote economic interests and manage imperial policy. The collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the World War I caused not only dramatic changes in the Arab geography but also established a new regional order in these lands. Britain played a dominant role in shaping the future of Palestine by the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration. The British Mandate for Palestine lasted until 14 May 1948, leading to the first Arab-Israeli War, which was a major moment as tensions escalated, and Britain stood at the crossroads. Political cartoons have undergone a significant development in Britain since the early nineteenth century, and the developments in the Middle East have always attracted great attention from the public. Illustrations were a showcase of how domestic politics was perceived, and they were intimately linked to foreign policy. This study analyses the course of the British Mandate for Palestine until the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 and the British approach to the conflict by focusing on the representation of the related subjects in political cartoons. In particular, it explores how the images provided the readers with visible critiques of the British government and to what extent they offered new insights into their political stance.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Britanya İmparatorluğu, on dokuzuncu yüzyılda Orta Doğu’ya yönelik ilk deneysel adımlarını atmaya ve değerlendirmeler geliştirmeye başlamıştı. Britanya’nın stratejileri bölgede doğrudan bir sömürge kurulmasını hedeflemese de, politikasının kökenleri ekonomik çıkarları desteklemek ve imparatorluk politikasını yönetmek üzere tasarlanmıştı. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun Birinci Dünya Savaşı’ndaki çözülüşü, yalnızca Arap coğrafyasında dramatik değişikliklere neden olmakla kalmamış, aynı zamanda bu topraklarda yeni bir bölgesel düzenin de kurulmasına yol açmıştır. Britanya, gizli Sykes-Picot Antlaşması ve Balfour Deklarasyonu ile Filistin’in geleceğinin şekillenmesinde baskın bir rol oynamıştır. Filistin’deki İngiliz Mandası, 14 Mayıs 1948’e kadar sürmüş, gerginlikler tırmanarak Britanya’nın bir kavşak noktasında durduğu ilk Arap-İsrail Savaşı’na yol açmıştır. Siyasi karikatürler Britanya’da on dokuzuncu yüzyılın başlarından itibaren önemli ölçüde gelişmiş ve Orta Doğu’daki gelişmeler halkın ciddi derecede ilgisini çekmiştir. İllüstrasyonlar iç politikanın nasıl algılandığının ve dış politikayla nasıl sıkı sıkıya bağlantılı olduğunun bir göstergesidir. Bu çalışmada, Filistin’deki İngiliz Mandası dönemi 1948 Arap-İsrail Savaşı’na kadar değerlendirilecek ve bu süreçteki olaylara İngiliz yönetiminin yaklaşımları siyasi karikatürlerin temsili üzerinden incelenecektir. Görsellerin İngiliz hükümetine yönelik eleştirileri ne derecede görünür kıldığı ve okurların siyasi duruşları hakkında ne ölçüde yeni bakış açıları sağladığı analiz edilecektir.</p></trans-abstract>
