	Faisal Husseini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Faisal Abdel Qader Al-Husseini (Arabic: فيصل عبدالقادر الحسيني) (July 17, 1940 - May 31, 2001) was a Palestinian politician who was considered a possible future leader of the Palestinian people.
		Husseini was born in Baghdad son of Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni, commander of local Arab forces during the siege of 1948 and grand-nephew of the Haj Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, the former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, the leader of the Palestinian Arabs in the war.
		Husseini went to work for the PLO upon its establishment in Jerusalem as deputy manager of the Public Organisation Dept, a post he filled from 1964 to 1965.

	A Palestinian Champion of Peace Is Dead (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Husseini, a political prisoner turned peace advocate whose family history was entwined with the Palestinian cause, died in Kuwait, where he was attending a conference on Israel.
		Husseini, distinguished by his aristocratic bearing, was a fixture in East Jerusalem, serving at once as an informal mayor of the Palestinian people and as a liaison to Israeli peace advocates and foreign diplomats.
		Husseini's stature, which owed much to his family lineage and guiding hand in the first Palestinian intifada of the late 1980's and early 90's, made him the one leader living in the West Bank or Gaza who was considered to be on a par with the Palestinian leaders in exile in Tunis.

		Husseini also said that in another few dozen years the Palestinians will constitute a majority in the area, and that it will be they who will decide whether to grant Israelis a state, if Israel continues with its present policies.
		Husseini inherited the mantle of leadership of eastern Jerusalem's large al-Husseini clan from his father, Abdel Kader, and his uncle, Haj Amin al-Husseini, both Palestinian heroes in the armed struggle against the Zionist movement.
		Husseini's oversight of these funds, his perceived lack of corruption and his position vis-a-vis Arafat within the same extended clan contributed to a simmering rivalry with the PLO chief.

	BBC News \| MIDDLE EAST \| Faisal Husseini: More diplomat than politician
		Faisal Husseini, the senior official of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) in Jerusalem, was a man who many observers thought might one day become the leader of the Palestinian people.
		But much as Faisal Husseini enjoyed widespread respect for his integrity and dedication to the Palestinian cause, his quiet, bookish manner and the impression that he sometimes gave of aloofness meant that he lacked both charisma and the common touch.
		His father Abdel Qader Husseini is remembered by Palestinians as a hero of the armed struggle with the Jews around the time of the creation of Israel in 1948, eventually being killed in one of the crucial battles for control of the roads leading into Jerusalem.

		A cousin, Sharif Husseini, the director of the department of international relations at Orient House, accompanied Faisal on the trip to Kuwait during which he died, and he says he was surprised to discover that there are still many members of the Husseini family living in Jerusalem.
