Al-Husseini died in Beirut , on 4 July 1974 . He had wished to be buried on the Haram ash-Sharif in Jerusalem . However , Israel had captured East Jerusalem during the 1967 Six-Day War . The Supreme Muslim Council asked the Israeli government permission to bury him there but permission was refused . Three days later , al-Husseini was buried in Beirut . Within two years , the Christian Lebanese Phalange sacked his villa , and stole his files and archives . His granddaughter married Ali Hassan Salameh , the founder of PLO 's Black September , who was later killed by Mossad for his involvement in the Munich massacre . According to Zvi Elpeleg , almost all trace of his memory thereafter vanished from Palestinian awareness , and Palestinians have raised no monument to his memory , or written books commemorating his deeds
