of the most controversial figures of Jerusalem, may go to Amman,
Jordan, at the invitation of King
Hussein.

Israelis remem-
Husseini as the
instigator of the
bloody anti-Jew-
ish, anti-British
riots in mandated
Palestine in 1929
and 1936. His
anti - Jewish ac-
Mufti
tivity was capped
during World War II when the ex-
mufti lived in Berlin under Hitler's
protection. He was regarded as the
prime Nazi collaborator from the
Middle East.
Husseini turned up in Cairo
after the war, where he plotted
against King Abdullah. Since
1948 he has been living in lux-
urious exile in a heavily guarded
Beirut villa. Be is believed to be
nearly 80 years old though his
exact age is unknown.

One of the most influential West
Bank leaders, Mayor Mohammed
All el-Jaabari of Hebron, recently
described the mufti, whom he
knew, as a despicable character
on eveyr count.

Other Arab leaders have ex-
pressed surprise at the suggestion
that King Hussein would invite an
extremist of his stamp to Jordan
which already has its hands full
with Palestinian guerrillas.
But some sources said Hussein

could be planning to use the former

mufti to discredit El Fatah leader
Yassir Arafat among extremist
elements who still admire the
former Grand Mufti.
The reasoning was that Arafat
would pale by comparison with the
old-time leader. Other sources said,
however, that the aging el-Husseini,
a relic of a past era, would have
no appeal to the young, Marxist-
oriented Palestinians, however ex-
treme their views on Israel may be.

London, of course, isn't Tel

But all right. Next year's another
