Furthermore Prince Rashed Al Khuzai was the only one from Jordan who provided a direct support in the revolution of Sheikh Omar Al-Mouktar against Italian colonialism in Libya, therefore Prince Rashed supported the Libyan struggle against Italian colonial by afforded funds and provided Libyan revolution with ammunition and weapons through the mediators that he had met several times at Ajloun and Palestine.

Most of the Palestinian militants cling and believed in this Jordanian Prince, may have been the reason behind this is linked very closely with the struggling Sheikh Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Gods mercy. The majority of Palestinian fighters from the guerrilla during the war in Lebanon in 1982 had pictures of Prince Rashid Al Khuzai in their pockets and ammunition and even between the blood drops, side by side with images of Che Guevara (the Cuban freedom fighter) and images of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat (Abu Ammar) confirming the images directly from the images of Arab solidarity.
