Summary
Attorney-General of Palestine from 1931, replacing Norman Bentwich, who in Banko’s account noted his wish to minimise conflict with the Zionist Organisation when he wrote to the Department of Immigration in 1934 that three years’ residence abroad for a naturalised Palestinian Jew was ‘not enough [cause] to revoke Palestinian citizenship’ (The Invention of Palestinian Citizenship, 1918–1947, PDF p.147 / printed p.136, PDF p.150 / printed p.139).
Details
- Trusted’s 1934 memo concerned a Jewish immigrant naturalised in 1929 despite apparent residence in Morocco since 1927, whose passport was renewed for three years on condition he returned to Palestine to reside permanently before it expired (PDF p.150 / printed p.139).
