This study is an attempt to find out the kingdom’s original attitude towards the strike taking into a count the local, regional and national circumstances that surrounded. The study used all available British documents and the Arabic and Zionist sources of some new books and studies. In the introduction these sources and the bases of the kingdom’s relations with the Arab and Muslim causes are examined in a general way of evaluation. The strike was also introduced with the British attitude that strongly supported the Zionist movement transforming it into areality in the heart of the Arab world because it undermined the stability of the whole region. The study concludes with the kingdom’s favourable attitude towards the strike and its financial, political and spiritual support of both the strike and the Palestinian cause from the very beginning, because of the Saudi’s realistic and moderate political view that is a ware of the Arabic and regional facts as well it’s effort to achieve just peace
