In order to prevent the infiltration of non-regional powers into Arab countries and to obtain cooperation and support from Arab states during the war,as well as to maintain its strategic interests in the Middle East after the war,Britain twice advocated openly the founding of an Arab alliance and took specific measures to pave the way for its establishment.Britain indirectly rejected the proposal of a Greater Syria-Iraq Alliance actively promoted by the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri,and politely declined the idea proposed by King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia to form an alliance led by the United Kingdom of Great Britain,but actively supported the Egyptian Prime Minister Nahas to lead the coordination of all independent Arab states to form a league.By advocating the establishment of an alliance of Arab countries,Britain strengthened solidarity and cooperation among Arab states,and at the same time eliminated the possibility of a complete unification of the Arab world.The establishment of a mechanism to resolve conflicts and disputes among Arab states would not only avoid the dilemma of British mediation between Arab states,but also prevent the possibility of interference and infiltration by external powers.It also clarified the responsibilities of Arab states to solve the Palestinian issue together,thereby freeing Britain from the policy risks of addressing it alone.In such a way,Britain planned its strategic layout in the Middle East after the war while meeting the long-cherished wish of Arab countries to strengthen unity.
