Life and Education edit
Born in 1926 in Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood, he graduated from the Palestinian Institute of Law in 1948 and achieved a doctorate from John F. Kennedy University in 2006.[2]
Mayor of East Jerusalem edit
From 1999 until his death in 2019, al-Ghul served as the titular mayor of East Jerusalem. Due to the forced shutting down of all councils related to the East Jerusalem municipal services by Israeli authorities, al-Ghul held what constituted a purely formal position or title without any practical or real authority.[3][4]
