From statement in US Congress, 1948:
<blockquote>Jamal Husseini, nephew of the Mufti and for many years his right-hand man, has been the head of the Palestine Arab party, the Mufti's party, since 1935. He was the
closest assistant of the Mufti in organizing the 1936–39 Arab rebellion. In 1939 he joined the Mufti in Bagdad and organized the pro-Axis fifth column in Iraq which culminated in the Iraqi rebellion.
He fled from Bagdad en route to Tehran, but was captured there by the British before he could make good his escape. He was placed in internment in Rhodesia as a dangerous pro-Axis leader. There he spent 4 years until he was finally released in February 1946 and allowed to return to Palestine owing to the pressure of the Arab League.
Five months ago, in January 1947, at the Mufti's request, three of his aides in the Axis adventure were added to the Arab Higher Committee. These were Izzat Dar waza, Is'haq Darwish, and Muin el Madi. The latter was the head of the Mufti's espionage onice in Turkey, while the former two operated in Germany and Athens. Today, unquestionably the center of activity of the Arab Higher Committee is in Cairo, with the Mufti playing a game which he hopes will bring about his recognition by the Arab states as the Palestine Arab government-in exile.
The extent of the alliance of the Mufti and his aides with the Axis is presented in the following pages in photographs and photo static copies of documents found among the papers of the Mufti in his villas and offices in Germany at the war's end, and among the official papers of the Nazi government.
Most, if not all, of these documents are now in the possession of the State Department of the United States.
The record shows that the chairman of the Arab Higher Committee and his principal representatives were involved in an active partnership with Rome and Tokyo, with the Moslem quislings of the Balkans and the Soviet Union, with Axis representatives in the Middle East, and with Vichyites in the French territories of north Africa.
The documents prove, moreover, that due to the insistence of the Mufti, the exterination program of the Nazis was carried out even in those satellite countries which were willing to permit the rescue of the Jews.
It is to these men, whose acts establish their place among the worst of the Axis war criminals, that the United Nations has accorded the honor of appearing in behalf of the Arabs of Palestine.
