Muhammad Ali Ja'abari

Muhammad Ali Ja'abari

Sheikh Muhammad Ali Ja'abari (Arabic: الشيخ محمد علي الجعبري‎ 1900-1980) was the long-serving mayor of the Palestinian city of Hebron, appointed by Jordan, from 1948 to 1976. Ja'abari was head of the Jericho Conference in Jericho which supported the unification of the West Bank and Jordan. In the 1950s, he held a seat in the upper chamber of the Jordanian government.[1]

After Israel occupied the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War, he proposed that Israel only remain in power for five years and then the Palestinian would reserve the right of self-determination. Throughout the 1970s, he was member of various Jordanian cabinets.[1]

Ja'abari died in 1980. He is related to Sulaiman Ja'abari, the former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.[1]
