Sultan Pasha al-Atrash embracing Palestinian journalist Mohammad Ali Eltaher in the Druze Mountain in the 1930s


Sultan Pasha was commander of the Great Syrian Revolt against the French Mandate in 1925-1927. The revolt was loudly advocated and supported by the Palestinian nationalist and journalist, Mohammad Ali Eltaher. In 1924, Eltaher had published a newspaper from Cairo called "Asshoura" which strongly advocated freedom of Arabs living under European occupation. Overnight it became a voice for Arab liberation movements and was very popular with Syrian nationalists, both in exile and within Syria itself.
