שאלה #193606

		A) Aroused opposition from Palestinian elites.
		B) Was intended to smuggle hashish from Iraq to Europe.
		C) Was intended mainly for the Egyptian drug market.
		D) Created a black market that encouraged hashish consumption among Jews.

Explanation: In the readings, Mandatory Palestine functioned primarily as a transit corridor in the regional hashish economy. Due to its geographic position between Lebanon/Syria and Egypt, most hashish smuggled through Palestine was destined for the large and lucrative Egyptian market rather than for local consumption or onward shipment to Europe. (Reading: Ram, Hashishophobia). Quote: “Palestine became a central transit zone for hashish en route to Egypt.” (Ram, Hashishophobia).
