From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghassan Shakaa (Arabic: غسّان شكاء, transliteration: Ghassān Shak’ā) (1943- ) is the former mayor of Nablus, one of the largest cities in the West Bank. Former Nablus mayor Bassam Shaka is his first cousin. Shakaa was appointed to his position by Yasser Arafat. [1] After his brother was assassinated by a member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, Ghassan published an open letter in which he called for the Palestinian Authority to restore order to his politically divided city.[2]
