为了保持杰马尔的好感，或者在失败时减轻惩罚，耶路撒冷的外国人社区最常指望两个人。其中之一是来自中立国西班牙的风度翩翩的领事安东尼奥·德拉·谢尔瓦·孔德·德·巴洛瓦尔，他承担了大多数欧洲“交战”国家的领事职责，消息灵通，影响力极大。
(To stay in Djemal's good graces, or to soften the punishment when that failed, the foreign community in Jerusalem most often looked to two men. One was the dashing consul from neutral Spain, Antonio de la Cierva, Conde de Ballobar, who, having assumed the consular duties of most all the European "belligerent" nations, was extraordinarily well informed and influential.)
