Moshe "Musa" Chelouche (Hebrew: משה שלוש, Moshe Shlush, April 7, 1892 – February 26, 1968) was a Jewish politician and businessman in Mandatory Palestine and Israel who served in 1936 for 10 days as the mayor of Tel Aviv.
[5] His father was Yosef Eliyahu Chelouche, a businessman and founder of Tel Aviv.
[citation needed] During World War I, Chelouche helped Jewish Immigrants to Palestine receive Ottoman Citizenship, and helped Zionist Activists escape the area to avoid Ottoman Persecution.
[2][3] In 1928, Chelouche was elected to the Tel Aviv City Council.
[6][7] On 30 October, General Arthur Wauchope, the High Commissioner of Palestine, invalidated the election of Chelouche, without giving reasons, and appointed Rokach in his stead.
