Aref Basha al-Dajani ((アラビア語:عارف الدجاني)) (1856 – April 14, 1930) was an Arab Palestinian politician who served as mayor of Jerusalem in 1917–1918. Aref al-Dajani was born in Jerusalem in 1856.〔(Palestine Facts: Personalities - Alphabetical Listing )〕 ==Political activism== In 1918, after serving for one year as mayor of Jerusalem, al-Dajani joined the Administrative Committee of the Muslim-Christian Association (MCA) and went on to become Jerusalem and then regional president of the organization. The Jerusalem Congress convened on January 27-February 10, 1919 under the leadership of Aref al-Dajani and Izzat Darwazah. The resolution reached at this forum was cabled to the Paris Peace Conference on behalf of the Arabs of Palestine, demanding a renunciation of the Balfour Declaration and the inclusion of Palestine as "an integral part of...the independent Arab Government of Syria within an Arab Union, free of any foreign influence or protection."〔(From Wars to Nakbeh: Developments in Bethlehem, Palestine, 1917-1949, Adnan A. Musallam )〕 As chairman of the Jerusalem Congress, al-Dajani rejected political Zionism and agreed to accept British assistance on condition that it did not impinge on Arab sovereignty in Palestine. He envisaged Palestine as part of an independent Syrian state governed by Faisal of the Hashemite family.〔(Palestine Factionalism in the National Movement (1919-1939) )〕 In September 1920, al-Dajani became deputy president of a committee of notables established by the Pan-Islamic Movement. In his opening speech, he read letters received from Turkey and India, and called for Pan-Islamic ideals to be embraced by Palestinian Muslims.〔(British Pan-Arab Policy, 1915-1922: A Critical Appraisal, Isaiah Friedman )〕 During 1921 al-Dajani was the Muslim assessor for the Haycraft Commission of Inquiry cross examining witnesses.〔Luke, Sir Harry (1953) ''Cities and Men. An Autobiography. Volume II. Aegean, Cyprus, Turkey, Transcaucasia & Palestine. (1914-1924)''. Geoffrey Bles. London. p.223〕 Al-Dajani was branded a conspirator by E. Quigley, assistant director of Public Security during the British Mandate.〔(British Pan-Arab Policy, 1915-1922: A Critical Appraisal, Isaiah Friedman )〕 He was a member of the Arab Executive until 1922. Together with Raghib al-Nashashibi, in the early 1920s he led the opposition before splitting in 1926. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aref al-Dajani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
