Nayef Rajoub (Arabic: نايف الرجوب, born 1958) was the Religious Affairs Minister of Palestine in the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority cabinet and beekeeper. He has been arrested five times by Israel and once by his brother Jibril Rajoub in 1996 during a crackdown on Hamas members by Preventive Security Force led by Jibril. Nayef was released after a day. Nayef and his brother parted politically years ago; Jibril is a member of the rival Fatah party[1] and ran against Nayef in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections. Nayef Rajoub was arrested by Israel on June 29, 2006 as part of Israel's Operation Summer Rains.[citation needed]
On 26 July 2020, IDF arrested Rajoub from his home in the city of Dura near Hebron.[2]
