        History

        In June 1948, during the war for Palestine, a group of Mandate municipal employees carried out municipal tasks, whose existence dated back to the late Ottoman period. The new Arab Municipal Council of Jerusalem worked until June 1967, when Israel dissolved this Arab municipal council following the Israeli occupation of the Old City, East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
