Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas issued a new decree on Sunday detailing procedures for leadership succession if his presidency becomes vacant. The decree states that the deputy chair of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) Executive Committee will temporarily assume the role in the absence of a Palestinian Legislative Council. It mandates presidential elections within 90 days, with possible extensions due to unforeseen circumstances preventing voting. Abbas presented this measure as an effort to safeguard the Palestinian political system and ensure a peaceful transition through free and fair elections.
