Abstract

İngiltere’nin,
1917’de Filistin’i işgal ettikten sonra orada kurduğu askeri yönetim ülkenin
yönetimi ve güvenliği konularında faaliyetini devam ettirmiştir. Buna göre
askerler; bu iki alanda Filistin’de mevcut durumu korumakla yükümlüdür. Yönetim
ile ilgili konuda Filistin, idari merkezlere ayrılmış ve askeri valiler
görevlendirilmiştir. Valiler bulundukları ili yönetirken savaş koşullarına göre
hareket etmiştir. Bu sayede askeri yönetim Filistin’de mevcut olan dengeyi
korumuştur. Askeri yöneticilerin Filistin'de görevli olduğu diğer konu ise ülke
güvenliğinin sağlanmasıdır. Askeri yöneticiler, Filistin'de güvenliği sağlama
konusunda görevlerini yerine getirirken Londra Dış İşleri Bakanlığında alınan
politik kararlardan ister istemez etkilenmiştir. Bu kararlardan birisi olan
Londra Dış İşleri Bakanlığı’nın Filistin’de Siyonistleri destekleyerek bir
Yahudi Ulusal Evi inşa etmek istemesi, Askeri yöneticileri Filistin'de
güvenliği sağlama konusunda zor durumda bırakmıştır. Haliyle bu durum
Filistin’de yaşayan Arapları da rahatsız etmiştir. 1920 yılı bahar aylarında
gerçekleşen Nebi Musa Şenlikleri, Arap tepkisinin ilk kıvılcımı olmuş ve iki
toplum çatışmıştır. Bu ise askeri yönetimin sona ermesini beraberinde
getirmiştir.

Military Administration in Palestine in General Allenby Period and Nabi Incidents (1918-1920)

Abstract

After the
occupation of Palestine by the United Kingdom in 1917, military ruling
established there continued its activities in the areas of administration and
security of the country. Accordingly, soldiers are responsible in these two
areas of maintaining the current situation in Palestine. On the issue of
administration, Palestine was divided into administrative centers and military
governors were appointed. The governors acted according to the conditions of
war when they ruled the province. At this point the military administration has
maintained the balance that exists in Palestine. The other issue where the military
commanders are in charge of Palestine is the security of the country. Military
rulers were inadvertently influenced by the political decisions taken by the
London Ministry of Foreign Affairs while fulfilling their duty to provide
security in Palestine. One of these resolutions, the London Foreign Ministry's
desire to build a Jewish National Home in Palestine in support of the Zionists,
left military officials in a difficult position for security in Palestine. As a
matter of fact, this situation has also disturbed the Arabs living in
Palestine. In the spring of 1920, the al-Nabi Musa festivals became the first
spark of the Arab reaction, and the security of the country was in danger. This
brought together the end of the military administration.
