Mayor of East Jerusalem

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]
