<blockquote>To the Reichminister of Foreign Affirs.
Joachim von Ribbentrop
Rome, 28 April 1942
In our conversations with you we have conveyed the trust of the Arab people in the Axis powers and in their high goals, and we have expressed the national goals of the Arab lands currently suffering under British oppression. We have declared the readiness of the Arab people to join in the struggle against our common enemies until final victory.
We ask now the German government to declare its readiness to guarantee to the Arab lands currently suffering under British oppression all possible support in their struggle for liberation, to recognize the sovereignty and independence of the Arab lands of the Near East currently suffering under English oppression and their unity if the participating states so desire, as well as to agree to the elimination of the Jewish National Home in Palestine.
We are in agreement that the text and the content of this letter must be kept secret, until this can he changed by mutual agreement.
Please accept, herr Reichsminister, the assurance of our highest regards.
Amin al-Husayni
Raschid Ali al-Gailani</blockquote><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=ykQtDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA242Francis] R. Nicosia, Boğaç A. Ergene: ''Nazism, the Holocaust, and the Middle East: Arab and Turkish Responses,'' 2018, p.242</ref>
