The Last Mayor of Jerusalem
The Last Mayor of Jerusalem is a character-driven story told from the perspective of Rawhi Khatib, the last serving Palestinian mayor in Jerusalem. The story unfolds over 20 years between the two Arab-Israeli wars. Following the Nakba (1948) which segregated Jerusalem into East and West, Rawhi’s determination helped a proud people rebuild from the ruins of destruction, displacement and death. But then came the Naksa (1967), and the city’s fate hung in the balance again.
