Mahmoud Abbas, the 90-year-old Palestinian Authority president and Fatah chairman, maintains firm control through institutional mechanisms despite widespread public dissatisfaction and repeated calls for his resignation. A 2025 decree designates deputy Hussein al-Sheikh as interim successor for up to 90 days pending elections in the event of vacancy, while a July 2026 decree scheduled legislative elections for November 28 but deferred any presidential vote until 2027. Recent Fatah leadership elections reinforced Abbas loyalists and elevated his son Yasser, amid polling showing Marwan Barghouti as a leading alternative. These steps, alongside factional exclusion rules and external diplomatic pressures, shape trader assessments of near-term transition risks versus continuity.
