One of the gravest outcomes of the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt was the heavy economic damage that it caused the Arab community. After this turbulent period Jaffa tried to rebuild itself and regain its status as a leading mercantile center in Palestine. This need intensified with the outbreak of WWII, hence it was in Jaffa’s interest to improve its relations with Tel Aviv and with the Jews in general. Since the Jewish community too was concerned about the proper management of economic life in wartime, Arab-Jewish cooperation grew steadily in this period. The article evaluates the degree cooperation and the mutual dependency that consolidated the two communities. In this light Jaffa and Tel Aviv serve as a test case that exemplifies the subsequent change in Arab-Jewish relations in Palestine.
