Jerusalem 1834: The Revolt That Shook Ottoman Rule

In 1834, Jerusalem and the surrounding hill country erupted in a massive peasant revolt against the Egyptian occupation under Ibrahim Pasha. This episode dives into the causes, key events, and aftermath of the uprising. We explore the role of the powerful Husayni and Khalidi families, the spark at al-Aqsa Mosque, the brutal siege of Hebron, and the devastating conscription and disarmament policies that triggered the rebellion. Hear eyewitness accounts from European travelers, the story of the Qays–Yaman factional rivalry, and how the revolt reshaped Ottoman rule in Palestine long after Ibrahim Pasha withdrew. A turning point in the history of Jerusalem and the region.
