Zaki Ali Khader al-Ghul (Arabic: زكي الغول; born 1926 – 28 April 2019) was a Palestinian politician based in Jordan.
[1] 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] 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.
