Differences among Palestine Arab leaders has resulted in the establishment of a new organization, the Arab Higher Front, as a rival body to the Arab Higher Committee.
The new organization will be composed of representatives of five of the six leading Arab parties in the country. The first plenary meeting of the Higher Front will be held on June 2, when its policy will be announced. It is reliably stated that the policy will favor submission of the Palestine case to the United Nations, whereas Jamal Husseini, chairman of the Arab Higher Committee, has repeatedly insisted that such a move would not serve any useful purpose.
