Axis broadcasters today renewed assurance of sensational and unconfirmable reports of trouble in Palestine.
A broadcast of the Nazi-controlled Amsterdam radio said: “At several places in Palestine it came to bloody clashes between Arabs and Jews. In Jerusalem, the British troops fired on a crowd. Some persons were killed and others wounded. In front of the residence of the British High Commissioner a bomb explosion occurred.”
The Rome radio reported that the exiled ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el Husseini, who is said to have played a prominent part in the coup which established the Rashid Ali government in Iraq, issued an appeal to Palestine Moslems to “join the Iraqis.”
