Mas'ud al-Madi

Mas'ud al-Madi (died 1834) was a local Arab political figure in Palestine in the first half of the 19th century, during Ottoman and Egyptian rule.

The al-Madi family had Bedouin roots and originally hailed from the Beersheba area.

Mas'ud was a local sheikh and allied himself with Sulayman Pasha, the governor of Acre between 1804 and 1819.

[3] Mas'ud was executed by Ibrahim Pasha in 1834, during Egyptian rule, for his role in the countrywide Peasants' Revolt in Palestine.

[4] His 18th century "diwan or meeting house" in Ijzim[5] is today a hotel in Kerem Maharal, marketed as dating back to the "crusader period".
