I oppose deletion for these reasons. Firstly, I would add that past a certain size of town the mayor is inherently notable, there could be an interesting debate about what that size is, but I note that Umm al-Fahm is a town of 45 000. Also, it is the largest Muslim town and 2nd largest Arab town inside pre-1967 Israel, the unofficial capital of the Arab triangle, so this person is one of the most important Israeli Arabs holding any sort of elected office or political office.
