As of April 1946 the members were: Jamal Al-Husayni , Tewfiq Al-Husayni , Yusif Sahyun , Kamil Al-Dajani , Emile Al-Ghury , Rafiq Al-Tamimi and Anwar Al-Khatib (all members of or affiliated with the Palestine Arab Party ); Dr Izzat Tannus (an independent Christian Medical Doctor ); Antone Attallah (a member of the Greek Orthodox community); Ahmad Al-Shukayri (a Lawyer from Acre and an Arab Nationalist ); Sami Taha (head of PAWS ) and Dr Yusif Haykal (the mayor of Jaffa , who was politically independent) (Khalaf, 1991, pp. 121-122). By mid-1946 membership had dwindled to just al-Husayni, al-Khalidi, Hilmi Pasha and al-Ghury, but at the beginning of 1947 the AHC was expanded to include the four remaining core members plus Hasan Abu Sa'ud , Izhak Darwish Al-Husayni , Izzat Darwaza , Rafiq Al-Tamimi and Mu'in Al-Madi . This restructuring of the AHC to include additional supporters of Amin al-Husayni was seen as a bid to increase his political power (Khalaf, 1991, p. 129-130). REFERENCES
