Mahmoud Abbas, who has led the Palestinian Authority since 2005 without facing voters, faces sustained domestic pressure for leadership change, including polls showing widespread calls for his resignation. In June 2026 he announced legislative elections for November 2026 and presidential elections in early 2027, following his May re-election as Fatah leader and prior decrees naming Hussein al-Sheikh as interim successor. Recent U.S. restrictions on his travel, including to the UN General Assembly, add external constraints. These steps toward scheduled voting and succession planning represent the main near-term catalysts that could determine whether Abbas remains in office through late 2026 or into 2027.
