Meeting of the Jewish Agency Executive, Jerusalem 1938
Men in dark suits sit at a conference table covered with files and papers: a meeting of the Jewish Agency Executive in Jerusalem in 1938. Recognized by the League of Nations and later the United Nations, the Jewish Agency represented the Jewish community in Palestine before the British Mandate authorities while building state-like institutions in parallel. In 1938 the leadership was shaped by the Arab Revolt and debate over the Peel Commission's partition plan, which was meant to redraw Palestine's future. The Executive's chairman at the time was David Ben Gurion, who a decade later became Israel's first prime minister.
