Mahmoud Abbas, now 90 and in his 21st year as Palestinian Authority president after a 2005 election originally set for a four-year term, continues to lead despite periodic health concerns, including a reported January 2026 hospitalization. In 2025 he formalized succession steps by appointing Hussein al-Sheikh vice president of the PLO Executive Committee and issuing a constitutional declaration designating him interim replacement for up to 180 days pending elections. Recent actions include efforts to seat his son in Fatah leadership bodies and a decree scheduling long-delayed legislative elections for November 28, 2026, with presidential voting eyed for early 2027. These moves signal continuity and controlled transition rather than abrupt departure, though age-related risks and Fatah internal dynamics remain central variables for any near-term change.
