The Arab Revolt of 1936-1939 in Palestine: A Study Based on Oral Sources (ص 232)

المحتوى

This conflict reached its peak when ’Arif killed Farid al-
Hamdallah, a relative of Abd al-Rahim, after accusing him of giving
information to the authorities. As a result clashes occurred between the
groups of the two leaders, but which ’Abd al-Rahim contained and
prevented from spreading, in spite of the fact that a third party (British
or Jews) tried to deepen the conflict by attacking both rivals to make it
appear as though one was attacking the other. *
Other factors
The Arab Countries, with the exception of Syria and Lebanon did
nothing to support the Revolt. Syria and Lebanon were allowing arms
through their borders, as well as hosting the exiled leadership and many
of the Syrian activists who were helping to collect and organise finances
for the revolt. Egypt, Iraq and Saudi Arabia did not give the rebels any
support, except for the support from some Iraqi Nationalists. The
Governments of these countries especially Saudi Arabia and Iraq, were
actually trying to help the British in calming down the situation in
Palestine.(see details of their role in Chapter 4).
In Trans-Jordan the situation was more complicated. The Jordanian
nationalists helped the rebels to get arms and ammunition through the
borders while Prince Abdullah was supporting the Nashashibi faction. In
fact some of the Palestinian leaders were in favour of starting the revolt
in Trans-Jordan. The Mufti was one of those. However, the leaders of
the revolt inside were not in favour of this action. * there were some
incidents in Trans-Jordan where violence was reported, but the
Jordanian Frontier Forces lead by Sir John Glubb had stopped them.
