العصيان المدني لأهل فلسطين ضد حكم محمد علي باشا سنة 1834 م

الملخص EN

In the mid of 1834 AD, there was a shift in the loyalty of the Palestinian people away from the rule of Muhammad Ali led by his son, Ibrahim pasha, to civil disobedience against it, as a result of the administrative and financial decisions he tried to implement by force.

those decisions affected most of the local palestinian leaders, who lost their rule over the areas under their administration, and deprived them of the tax fees they were collecting.

added to this were a number of other unjust administrative decisions such as abolishing the obligation system, stopping the fees that were imposed on Christian pilgrims, applying compulsory recruitment, collecting weapons from people, and the equal collection of the unique tax from both, Muslims and non-Muslims as well.

the research then traces the development of the rebellion of the palestinian people against the Egyptian rule in major cities, especially Jerusalem, Nablus, Safed, Hebron, Beersheba, and so on.

it also highlights the outcomes of that rebellion which spread in the muslim-majority regions and illustrates how the local leaders desperately defended their social and economic interests, causing more than one thousand deaths of Ibrahim pasha solders.

likewise, the Palestinians lost almost twice that number.

moreover, the study shows how the disobedience temporarily hindered the advancement of Mohammed Ali’s troops to northwards of Syria.

finally, the research confirmed that the relations between Muhammad Ali and the Palestinians people remained in a state of mutual distrust until the end of his campaign.
