Abstract

This article discusses the birth of the municipality in the city of Acre after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Hitherto a predominantly Arab city, Acre became a mixed city following the Palestinian exodus and the Jewish immigration wave. However, despite the sizable Jewish community, Acre, like other Arab-majority cities in the newly-established Jewish State, was placed under military rule. The article examines archival material to draw out the local power struggles in Acre until the lifting of the military rule in the city and the election of its first mayor in October 1951 and explores the intricate interrelations between the local actors and the central government. Acre thus serves as a case study for an analysis of the tactics used by Mapai, Israel’s ruling party, to combat its political rivals in the Arab sector—most notably the Israeli Communist Party—and exert its hegemony over Israel’s Arab minority.

摘要

本文讨论了 1948 年阿以战争后阿克里市自治市的诞生。迄今为止，阿克里是一个以阿拉伯为主的城市，在巴勒斯坦人外流和犹太人移民潮之后变成了一个混合城市。然而，尽管有相当大的犹太社区，但阿克里与新成立的犹太国家中其他以阿拉伯人为主的城市一样，仍处于军事统治之下。文章研究了档案材料，以吸引当地的权力斗争，直到城市中的军事统治解除并于1951年10月选举其第一位市长，并探讨当地行为者与中央政府之间的复杂相互关系。因此，阿克雷可作为分析以色列执政党马派所使用策略的案例研究，
