by the Iraqi Parliamentary delegation which visited Palestine in March
1936.“
However, al-Qawuqji apparently was not in need of convincing to
come to Palestine, as he did have contacts with some Palestinian and
Syrian nationalists to come to Palestine if he was needed. Akram
Zueiter was one of those who had such a contact with al-Qawugqji; he
quoted from a letter sent to him by al-Qawugji, dated 16/4/36, in which
al-Qawugji said:
eveese I wish you success, and if needed I will be there even -
before you ask......""
Nabih al-’Azmeh, the exiled Syrian nationalist in Jerusalem, and his
brother ’Adel al-’Azmeh, who lived in Amman, also had contact with al-
Qawugji regarding the latter’s coming to Palestine. In his diary, Akram
Zueiter wrote on the 2nd of August 1936, that Nabih al--Azmeh, who was
then with him in Sarafand prison camp, had told him that his brother
*Adel al--Azmeh was negotiating with al-Qawuqji to come to Palestine
and lead the armed revolt. Akram himself received a letter from a friend
in Baghdad, telling him that al-Qawuqji had resigned from his job and
would be coming to Palestine.“
Fawzi al-Qawugqji arrived in Palestine on the 22nd of August 1936.
Upon his arrival he assumed the leadership of the rebel forces, and on
the 28th of August he issued his first communique bearing the title The
General Command of the Arab Revolt - Southern Syria (Palestine)’, and
signed Fawz al-Din al-Qawuqji, ’the Commander in-Chief of the Revolt
of Southern Syria’.“” His mobile headquarters were located in the Jenin,
Nablus and Tulkarm areas, which became known during the revolt as the
Triangle of Terror’. On the 2nd of September al-Qawuqji, according to
Porath, had a meeting with six commanders of the largest rebel groups;
