Amin al-Majaj
Amin al-Majaj (Arabic: أمين المجاج, Āmeen al-Majjaj) (died 1998)[1] was a titular mayor of Jerusalem, formerly the neighborhoods of East Jerusalem which were occupied and annexed by Jordan during the years 1949-1967, and later occupied and annexed by Israel in the six-day war.
Al-Majaj held the position from 1994 to 1998 after Mayor Ruhi al-Khatib died on 5th July 1994. A year later Jordanian businessman Zaki Al-Ghul was selected as successor to this position[1] that does not entail direct responsibility for municipal services. The position is not recognized by Israel.
