attempting to eliminate British influence than an attempt to keep it out of German hands. Britain was at war with Nazi Germany then. Keeping ME countries and their oil reserves out of Nazi Germany's hands was a very big thing. The Nazis were actively campaigning for influence in the Arab world. The Nazis were seen as a way to break the colonialism in Northern Africa. Nazism had a very strong positive appeal to Arabs. The anti-Jewish aspect was especially powerful. Haj Amin el Husseini, the top religious and national leader of the Palestinians (Yasser Arafat claimed to be his nephew) spent the WWII years in Berlin making propaganda for the Nazis, recruiting Balkan Moslems to fight for the Nazis, urging the Nazis to liquidate the Jews - even before they adopted the Final Solution policy.
