The claim of Avraham Maziliah, a Jewish boy living in an Israeli kibbutz, to being the grandson and sole heir of the late Nuri Pasha es-Said, assassinated former Premier of Iraq, was upheld by a Moslem religious court in Jaffa today.
Nuri Pasha’s widow has made an application to the High Court in London, seeking control of the entire Nuri es-Said estate. The boy’s relatives here entered a claim that he was the sole heir. They claim that Avraham was the son of a Jewish mother and Nuri’s only son, Sabah.
The Arab religious court in Jaffa, before whom attorney Max-Seligman of Tel Aviv, brought the case, heard witnesses and ruled in favor of the boy. Now Avraham’s claim to being the sole heir of the murdered Iraqi Premier will be certified to the High Court in London.
