Mahmoud Abbas, aged in his late 80s and long-serving president of the Palestinian Authority, continues to face questions over succession amid internal Fatah discontent and polls showing low public confidence. In 2025 he created a vice-presidential post and issued decrees positioning Hussein al-Sheikh as interim successor, while earlier nominating Rawhi Fattouh for a transitional role pending elections. Recent developments include a May 2026 hospital visit and polling indicating rising support for alternatives such as Marwan Barghouti, alongside US moves potentially limiting Abbas’s UN engagement. These factors shape trader views on transition timelines, balanced against Abbas’s history of consolidating authority and deferring legislative votes. Scheduled diplomatic events and any further health disclosures could influence near-term positioning.
