Yahya Rusydi Al-Sarraj (or Yahya R. Sarraj or Yahya Sarraj) is a university professor and local government administrator in Gaza, Palestine. He was appointed Mayor of Gaza City by Hamas in 2019, a move that sparked controversy due to its antidemocratic nature.[1] Fatah, the political party that dominates the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, denounced the selection process.[2]
