Abdullah of Jordan--ln Troubled Middle East....
A devout man he claims direct descent from Mohammed, prophet of Islam Abdullah bows to Mecca in his five-times-a-day prayers, the first around sunrise. Every Friday he prays at the mosque. With much fanfare he led a group of Arab armies in the ill-fated 1948 war "to push the Jews into the sea." 
Other Arab leaders accused him, however, of conducting secret negotiations with the Jews during the fighting. They said Abdullah's famed Arab Legion pulled its punches by orders of the British, who control it. King Abdullah is the most controversial figure in the Arab world. He has come close to breaking up the Arab League, the regional organization of seven Arab states. King Farouk of Egypt and King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia frankly detest him. Yet Abdullah sometimes is hailed as the most stabilizing factor in the chaotic, strategic, oil ...

MIGs OVER CXlRO , If Russian MIG fighters have been seen over Cairo, as the Minister of Defence suggested in the House of Commons yesterday...

Shukairy's 1956 'Southern Syria,' not a separated Palestine entity yet

June 1, 1956 Daily News from New York, New York · 45 Syria Demands: Talk On Pre-lsrael Basis By PETER WALLENBERG Syria demanded in the UN Security Council yesterday that everything the United Nations had done in the Palestine question,... the political aspects of the Palestine dispute. Shukairy tore into the British resolution that is backed by the U. S. and France and which would empower Hammarskjold to continue bis efforts toward "a peaceful settlement on a mutually acceptable basis." "The establishment of Israel, its membership in the UN and all other resolutions will have to be revoked," Shukairy said. "Then, and only then," he added, "the United Nations can look forward to a solution on a mutually acceptable basis." Israel's envoy, Abba Eban, take ever Israel and quoted Shukairy's word that Israel was just a part of southern Syria. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/455603792/ Vochenblatt - Jun 7, 1956, p.1 Ahmed Shukairy of ...

Shukairy removal 1962, author Hart

Parker T. Hart, "Saudi Arabia and the United States: Birth of a Security Partnership," Indiana University Press, 1998, p.167 He had managed in 1962 to send on vacation ” the headstrong Saudi UN permanent representative , Ahmad Shukairi. Under King Saud, Shukairi had been accustomed to largely having his own way in representing Saudi positions before the United Nations. These were consistently anti-British (Saud had broken relations with Britain over the 1956 Suez War) and highly critical of US policy on matters relating to Palestine and Israel. Representations by Shukairi on these matters were part of his standing duties, but the language he used was fiery and often extreme. Faisal replaced him on an acting basis with a venerable family retainer, Jamil Baroody, a man totally devoted to Faisal. https://books.google.com/books?id=7sgjntLGROwC&pg=PA167
