Mahmoud Abbas, aged 90, continues to lead the Palestinian Authority amid polls showing roughly 79 percent of Palestinians favoring his resignation and skepticism over the PA's legitimacy. Recent developments include his July decree scheduling legislative elections for November 28—the first in two decades—alongside presidential elections now slated for 2027, though past cancellations have raised doubts about delivery. He has designated Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh as interim successor in case of incapacity, while Fatah internal talks and reconciliation efforts with rivals like Mohammed Dahlan shape succession dynamics. External pressures, such as the latest U.S. visa denial preventing his UN address, compound questions of transition timing, with traders weighing health risks and election outcomes against his entrenched control and lack of a broadly popular alternative.
