Musa al-Husayni
Musa Kazim Pasha al-Husayni (Arabic: موسى كاظم الحسيني, Musa Kazem al-Ḥussaynī) (1853 – 27 March 1934) held a series of senior posts in the Ottoman administration. He belonged to the prominent al-Husayni family and was mayor of Jerusalem (1918–1920). He was dismissed as mayor by the British authorities and became head of the nationalist Executive Committee of the Palestine Arab Congress from 1922 until 1934. His death was believed to have been caused by injuries received during an anti-British demonstration.
