among its ranks the richest landowners, orange-growers and merchants.
It had strong relations with Prince Abdullah, the prince of Trans-Jordan.
The Majlisi faction had also set up a political party which was one of
the strongest of the period, the Palestinian-Arab Party, which was -
formed on the 26th March 1935, and was headed by Jamal al-Husseini.
Its adopted programme was of strong nationalist character. «7 The aims of
this party were the independence of Palestine and the abolition of the
mandate. Other goals were resistance to the establishment of the Jewish
national home in Palestine; national and political unity with the other
Arab countries, and improving the situation of Arab people in Palestine,
both culturally and economically. «* This party managed to establish
many branches in all the areas of Palestine. Certainly the Mufti
leadership had affected this spread of the party, in spite of the fact that it
did not adopt an anti-British policy.
During that period other smaller parties were formed, such as the
Reform Party which was set up mainly by the Khalidi family of
Jerusalem. It shared the same political views as the opposition Defence
Party, including acceptance of the Legislative Council. The Reform
Party also had good relations with Prince Abdullah of Trans-Jordan. “
On the 5th of October 1935 another small party was formed in Nablus,
The National Coalition Party headed by ’Abd al-Latif Salah. the most
important factor, perhaps, was that this party was formed in Nablus,
further from the political center, Jerusalem, and that it called the other
parties to meet and try to unite in one front. This party’s political
programme was nationalist in general, and it was impartial towards the
Majlisi - Mu’arada factions. 5!
