From 1926 to 1935 alone approximately 70,000 of such travel documents were granted.1 Issued by the High Commissioner for Palestine, these passports became invalid with the termination of the British mandate on 15 May 1948.2 Even so, in the early 1950s, United Nations officials described the "worn dog-eared Palestine passport issued in Mandate days by a government that no longer legally exists" as "mementos of identity that were treasured by refugees".3 Israeli and Jordanian passports were offered to former British Mandate subjects according to the citizenship they acquired in the aftermath of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. A significant number of Palestinian people, especially in the Gaza Strip and those who found refuge in Syria and Lebanon, remained stateless.
