Rawhi Fattuh (Arabic: روحي فتوح, Rawḥī Fatūḥ, also transliterated as Rauhi Fattouh; born 23 August 1949) is the current Chairman of Palestinian Legislative Council, having held the position since February 2020.[1] He had previously held the same position in 2004, and for that reason he became the interim President of the Palestinian Authority, following the death of Yasser Arafat on 11 November 2004, until 15 January 2005. Under Palestinian law, he held the Presidency only until elections were held.[2] The elections were held and won by Mahmoud Abbas, who was sworn in on 15 January 2005.[3] Fattuh was again elected to the Central Committee of Fatah in December 2016.[4]
