1915年，杰马尔帕夏向阿尔伯特·安泰比提出出售耶路撒冷前的土地，以拆除马格里布区摩洛哥居民拥有的近30所房屋，并为犹太人的祈祷创造一个空间。几十年来，欧洲犹太人一直试图从奥斯曼人手中购买同一地区，但遭到拒绝，尽管英国通过《贝尔福宣言》支持犹太人，但这种情况在英国统治下没有改变。1929年巴勒斯坦骚乱后，任何收购西墙或将马格里布区改造成广场的可能性都被推迟。本文将讨论犹太复国主义档案馆中记录这一长达数十年的努力的相关信件，并讨论与失败和秘密有关的问题。有关个人宣誓承诺永远不讨论这一问题，因为他们担心暴露出犹太复国主义者在圣地和象征方面的分歧。
ABSTRACT This article discusses the offer made by Cemal Pasha in 1915 to Albert Antébi to sell the area in front of the Western Wall in Jerusalem in order to dismantle the nearly thirty houses owned by the Moroccan inhabitants of the Maghrebi Quarter and create a space ‘reserved for the prayers of the Jewish people’. European Jews had already sought to purchase the same area from the Ottomans for several decades but had been denied, a situation that did not change under British rule despite the support given to the Jews with the Balfour Declaration. After the 1929 riots in Palestine, any possibility of acquiring the Western Wall or converting the Maghrebi Quarter into a plaza was postponed. This article will address relevant correspondence available at the Zionist Archives that chronicles this decades-long effort and discuss the questions relating to failure and secrecy. The individuals involved took an oath promising never to discuss this business out of concerns about revealing divisions among Zionists in relation to holy places and symbols.
