Summary
The Arab political party which the Anglo-American Committee calls the most important of the Arab political parties in Palestine, controlled by the Husseini family and formally organised in 1935 (Report of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, lines 808).
Details
- The Committee states that Arab political leadership in Palestine is still in the hands of the small number of families prominent in Ottoman times, of which the most notable are the Husseinis, and that this family controls the Palestine Arab Party (Report of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, lines 808).
- The objectives of this and of all Arab parties in Palestine are given as the immediate stoppage of Jewish immigration, the immediate prohibition of the sale of land to Jews, and the concession of independence to a State in which the Arab majority would be dominant (Report of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, lines 808).
