Nashashibi was elected mayor of Jerusalem in 1920, holding the post until 1934. He was a leading opponent of the Husseini family in Palestine. To some extent the British Mandatory Government played the two families off against each other in order to keep a balance of power, Sir Herbert Samuel appointing Mohammed Amin al-Husseini as Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in 1921. This is described in the first named broadside, where it is claimed that Sir Ronald Storrs, first Military, then Civil Governor of Jerusalem, 1917-1926, wants Jewish voters to back Nashashibi in his re-election as mayor, so that the British have their man in position, and can involve Jewish voters in the machinations of the Arab Executive., Main Heritage Compact General, HC.ARC.2016.0019, Manuscripts, Item-ID: i26406330, BIB-ID: 2824635 |
