the arabs have always asked for their freedom and independence.... england did not pay regard to the interests or rights of the arab inhabitants, the lawful owners of the country.

• the arab league: statement following the establishment of the state of israel, may 15, 1948

before the creation of israel, palestine was mostly populated by arabs.
according to the arab league, the creation of israel
was a response to arab treatment of jews
failed to consider arab interests
was paid for by the british

Explanation:

The Arab League's statement mentions that England (the British Mandate authority) did not consider the interests/rights of Arab inhabitants when the state of Israel was established. The first option is incorrect as the text says Jews were not ill - treated by Arabs. The third option is not supported by the text. So the correct option is the one about failing to consider Arab interests.

Answer:

failed to consider Arab interests
