The London Conference was a meeting called by the British government of the leaders of Palestine's Jews and Arabs.

The London Conference was a failure, as Jewish and Arabic delegations would not meet or speak with one another. The British proposed limits on Jewish immigration and land purchases but this was ignored by Jewish groups who intended to break immigration rules.

• ❖ Jewish groups who felt they had been treated badly at the London Conference protested in Palestine. They cut phone lines, attacked government offices and staged violent protests.
• ❖ The Arab delegates at the conference wanted to accept the deal but the Grand Mufti of Palestine, Amin al-Husseini, rejected it. He did so in order to appease radical Arab nationalists who believed there could be no compromise with the Jews or the British.
