Talk:Aref al-Dajani

A Problem of Dates?
Al-Dajani was preceded as Mayor of Jerusalem by Hussein al-Husayni, who surrendered the city to the British on Dec. 9, 1917, and again to Allenby on Dec. 11 and then died just weeks later in January 1918. Col. Ronald Storrs, the British Military Governor, appointed Musa al-Husayni to succeed his deceased brother and that also happened in 1918, probably shortly after the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration was formally established on Oct. 23, 1918. It seems that there is insufficient time for al-Dajani to have been Mayor for a whole year if one brother succeeded the other 10 to 11 months later. And if Al-Dajani did take office in 1917 rather than 1918, it could only have been for a matter of days ... two weeks at most. --Eliyahu S Talk 22:38, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
