August 1840 CE

A delegation headed by Adolphe Crémieux and Sir Moses Montefiore had left for Egypt in July 1840 to save the Jews of Damascus.

Crémieux and Montefiore have requested Muhammad Ali to transfer the investigation to Alexandria or have the case considered by European judges.

However, their request has been denied.

The delegation, concerned primarily with the release of the imprisoned Jews of Damascus, has decided to accept their liberation without any judicial declaration of their innocence or formal denunciation of the blood libel.
