| Summary: | The present study is an attempt to investigate the accusations of the Canaanite rulers to the royal Egyptian commissioners by means of a series of analyses, depending on the corpus of Amarna letters in order to determine the behaviour of members of Egyptian administration and local Canaanite elites, and these accusations reflect the weakness of the Egyptian administration at Syria-Palestine, by the hidden conflict between the Canaanite rulers and the Egyptian royal commissioners. This conflict reflects the desire of the Canaan rulers to confirm sovereignty over the administrative framework. The article explores the credibility of these allegations and the role of foreign officials in further administrative deterioration. The study concludes with statistics on the nature of the relationship between the commissioners and the local mayors (whether positive or negative). This relationship can provide us an accurate image of the tensions and mistrust's places in the Egyptian administration in Syro-Palestine during the Arnarna Age. |
