Ruhi al-Khatib (1914 1994; Arabic: , Ru i al-Khateeb) was the mayor of Al-Quds (East Jerusalem) from 1957 to 1967. His term of service came to an end after the Israeli Defense Force took control of the city in 1967''s Six Day War. Al-Khatib did not acknowledge his dismissal, but remained in Jerusalem and continued to work as director of the Arab Hotels company and the Jerusalem Electric Company. In March 1968 he was woken by Israeli policemen at 3:00 AM and told he was wanted for interrogation. But instead of being taken to interrogation, he was given a deportation order alleging that his presence in Jerusalem constituted a danger to the security of Israel. He was then escorted to the border and handed over to the Jordanian authorities. He was not allowed to take anything with him, and his family learned of his expulsion from the radio.
