Mahmoud Abbas, the 90-year-old Palestinian Authority president since 2005, faces intense pressure amid polls showing 79% of Palestinians want his resignation and strong preference for alternatives like imprisoned Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti. His July 2026 decree set legislative elections for November 28—the first in two decades—with presidential elections slated for early 2027, framed as reform to address international demands and PA governance issues. Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh serves as designated interim successor in case of vacancy, while Fatah maneuvers and factional talks, including with Egypt, shape succession dynamics. External factors include U.S. visa restrictions and regional reconciliation efforts, though skepticism persists over whether votes will proceed or alter leadership given historical postponements and Abbas’s influence over Fatah structures. These elements inform trader views on the timeline for his departure from office.
