Mahmoud Abbas has served as Palestinian Authority president since 2005, with his original four-year term expiring in 2009 amid Fatah-Hamas divisions that halted elections. Recent stability signals include his July 2024 appointment of a new cabinet under Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa, aimed at addressing governance amid the Gaza conflict's fallout. At age 88, unconfirmed health rumors and calls for reform from Arab states persist, but Abbas remains active diplomatically, including meetings with leaders like China's Xi Jinping. No successor is officially designated, though Hussein al-Sheikh holds key PLO roles; trader odds reflect low near-term exit probability absent a major health crisis, coup, or snap elections, with no polls or dates scheduled.
