The name is cognate to and has the same meaning as Hebrew Abdiel.Sayyid Husayn ibn Ali, he had two sons and three daughters: (1) H.King Talal bin Abdulla; (2) H.Prince Nayef bin Abdulla; (3) H.Princess Munera bint Abdullah; (5) H.Princess Maqbouleh bint Abdulla.Having heard of Abdullah's plans, Winston Churchill invited Abdullah to the infamous "tea party" where he convinced Abdullah to stay put and not attack Britain's allies, the French.Churchill told Abdullah that French forces were superior to his and that the British did not want any trouble with French.Abdullah acquiesced and was rewarded when the British created a protectorate for him, which later became a state; Transjordan.Prime Ministers under Abdullah formed 18 governments during the 23 years of the Emirate.He would actually have signed a separate peace agreement with Israel, but for the Arab League's militant opposition.Because of his dream for a Greater Syria comprising the borders of what was then Transjordan, Syria, Lebanon, and the British Mandate for Palestine under a Hashemite dynasty with "a throne in Damascus," many Arab countries distrusted Abdullah and saw him as both "a threat to the independence of their countries and they also suspected him of being in cahoots with the enemy" and in return, Abdullah distrusted the leaders of other Arab counties.Abdullah had no intention to "resist or impede the partition of Palestine and creation of a Jewish state."Rogan wrote that Abdullah actually supported partition in order so that the allocated areas of the British Mandate for Palestine could be annexed into Transjordan.According to this thesis, Abdullah went so far as to have secret meetings with the Jewish Agency (future Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir was among the delegates to these meetings) that came to a mutually agreed upon partition plan independently of the United Nations, and that the plan even had approval from British authorities.The claim has, however, been strongly disputed by Israeli historian Efraim Karsh.Golda Meir (the most important Israeli participant and the person who allegedly clinched the deal with Abdullah) is conspicuously missing from Shlaim's book, despite his awareness of its existence".Abdullah's role in this war became substantial.He saw himself as the "supreme commander of the Arab forces" and "persuaded the Arab League to appoint him" to this position.His forces under their British commander Glubb Pasha did not approach the area set aside for the new Israel, though they clashed with the Yishuv forces around Jerusalem, intended to be the International Zone.Assassination
On July 20, 1951, Abdullah, while visiting Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, was shot dead by Mustapha Shukri Usho, "a Palestinian from the Husseini clan."Solh, a former Prime Minister of Lebanon, had been assassinated in Amman, where rumors were circulating that Lebanon and Jordan were discussing a joint separate peace with Israel.Abdullah was in Jerusalem to give a eulogy at the funeral and was shot while attending Friday prayers at the Dome of the Rock in the company of his grandson, Prince Hussein.Abdullah's grandson, Prince Hussein Ibn Talal was at his side and was hit too.Hussein's chest at his grandfather's insistence deflected the bullet and saved his life.Alec Kirkbride, the British Resident in Amman, was a "former terrorist".Musa Abdullah Husseini as the chief plotters of "the most dastardly crime Jordan ever witnessed."Husayni, and his adherents in Arab Palestine.King Hussein at the age of seventeen.Hussein was in turn succeeded by his son, King Abdullah II.References
