Arafat and Abbas also have failed to acknowledge that an agent of Hajj Amin assassination the king of Jordan, Abdullah I, while he was praying in the Al-Aksa mosque in Jerusalem, in 1951. The assassination followed quickly after Abdullah announced on Jordanian radio that he had initialed a draft of a peace treaty with Israel that would have ended the state of war between the two countries. It ook several decades after the assassination for a peace treaty between Israel and Jordan to be signed.
Actually, at various times both Yasir Arafat and his successor, Mahmoud Abbas, did mention Haj Amin in speeches that were broadcast to the Arab population of Yesha. They praised him as one of the founders of the Palestinian national movement. But they didn’t say very much about him, only a brief mention. They didn’t mention the numerous terrorist attacks carried out by Haj Amin’s followers, or his work for Hitler during the second world war.
