A plan to make Palestine a German protectorate was reported today by the Yiddish newspaper Moment. According to the newspaper, Chancellor Adolf Hitler has given assurances of such action to Haj Amin el Husseini, ex-Mufti of Jerusalem who has been directing Arab terrorism in Palestine from his exile in Lebanon.
Establishment of the protectorate, the report stated, would follow an uprising by 50,000 Arabs, equipped with German arms, to be set off by imposition of the British Government’s projected new policy in Palestine. The report, it was learned, originated in Warsaw Zionist Revisionist circles.
