and led others to work against it, especially those who lost relatives as a
result of these assassinations.
The relations and conflicts between some of the rebel leaders was
reflected in the inter fasil relations. For example the conflict and rivalry
between ’Abd al-Rahim Haj Mohammad and ’Arif ’Abd al-Raziq,
reflected on the relations between the fasail belonging to each of them,
which in some cases had almost developed into a fight, like the incident
between a fasil belonged to Abd al-Rahim and another belonged to ’Arif
who almost clashed in Jaffa for territorial domination, and which could
have led to a full scale clash between the forces of each of the leaders
had some notables and some people from Jaffa not intervened to stop
the clash before developing.
The conflict between these two leaders goes back to the rivalry
between the families of the two, who were competing on positions and
prestige in the area of Tulkarm. However, this developed during the
revolt into a rivalry between the two leaders. This rivalry was reflected in
the competition between them to head the Bureau of the Arab Revolt in
Palestine, which was supposed to rotate between the members. ’Abd al-
Rahim assumed the title of "Commander-in-Chief of the Revolt", which
he modified in late 1938 to "Commander-in-Chief of the Arab Rebels in
Palestine”. Arif on the other hand found it difficult to agree with "Abd
al-Rahim on the title and decided to call himself “"Commander-in-Chief
of the Rebels in Southern Syria.” The rivalry between the two during the
revolt took a political form, especially when ’Abd al-Rahim denounced
Arif’s willingness to commit political assassinations, and extracting
money from the people. ®
