Arab Higher Committee - War Period

War Period

Amin al-Husayni managed to escape arrest and went into exile. For all practical purposes, the Committee ceased to exist. Al-Husayni spent the war years in occupied Europe, actively collaborating with the Nazi leadership. Membership of the outlaw Committee had dwindled to just Jamal al-Husayni (Amin al-Husayni's brother, as acting chairperson), Husayn al-Khalidi (secretary), Ahmed Hilmi Pasha and Emile al-Ghury. Jamal al-Husayni was interned in Southern Rhodesia during the war.
