Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, 90, remains in office 21 years into what was a four-year term ending in 2009, with no elections held since due to internal divisions and Hamas's 2007 Gaza takeover. In October 2025, he issued a decree naming Fatah Secretary-General Hussein al-Sheikh as acting president in case of vacancy, clarifying succession amid growing pressure for democratic reforms. A January 2026 routine medical check confirmed his health as stable, while February's draft constitution aims to transition the PA toward statehood. No major developments in the past 30 days signal imminent departure; trader consensus weighs his longevity against age-related risks, factional tensions, and potential no-confidence moves or health events.
