The mufti fails to rally Palestinian Arabs to the Axis cause.

Although some support Germany, the majority supports the Allies, and approximately twenty-three thousand Arabs enlist in the British forces (especially in the Arab Legion).

Increases in agricultural prices benefit the Arab peasants, who begin to pay accumulated debts.

The Palestinian Rebellion had ruined many Arab merchants and importers, however, and British war activities, although bringing new levels of prosperity, further weaken the traditional social institutions—the family and village—by fostering a large urban Arab working class.
