The abolition of the Palestine Mandate and the Balfour declaration is demanded today by a new Extremist Arab party, Istiklal, headed by Auni Bey, former member of the Arab Executive.
This demand is part of the program of the new party, published today, which demands that Palestine become a part of an independent Syria.
The new Arab party also demands the establishment of a Parliament, with an Arab government in charge. It calls for the prohibition of land sales to Jews, and the creation of a Pan Arabic Federation.
