Jibril Mahmoud Muhammad Rajoub (Arabic: جبريل محمود محمد الرجوب; born 14 May 1953), also known by his kunya Abu Rami (أبو رامي),[1] is a Palestinian political leader, legislator, and former militant.

In 1968, he was arrested by Shin Bet at age 15 on suspicion of aiding fleeing Egyptian officers, and spent four months in prison.

[11] During the Oslo years, he criticized the growing influence of religious fundamentalism in Palestinian society schools, and launched a major crackdown on Hamas and the Islamic Jihad Movement.

[12] He is also President of the Palestine Olympic Committee, Head of the PLO Supreme Council for Sport and Youth Affairs and Chairman of the Palestinian Scout Association.

"[16] In November 2015, Rajoub named a table tennis tournament in honor of Muhannad Halabi, who had stabbed and killed two Israeli civilians in Jerusalem a month prior.

[17] A poster advertising the tournament featured two images of Halabi, and stated: "patronage of the leader Jibril Rajoub, head of the Palestine Olympic Committee."

He also attended a boxing match named in honor of Ali Hassan Salameh, a planner of Black September, which killed 11 Israeli Olympians during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.

[22] A letter by FIFA's chief of investigations on its ethics committee alleged that Rajoub "glorified terrorism", politicized football, employed racist language when referring to Israelis, including comparisons to "Satan and Nazis", and encouraged football competitions and teams to be named after convicted Palestinian terrorists.

On 13 August 2024, upon his return from the Olympics, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) briefly detained Rajoub, confiscating his passport and summoning him for interrogation for the next day.
