Mahmoud Abbas
President of the Palestinian Authority since 2005 and the aging leader of Fatah's West Bank-based governing apparatus. Abbas built his career through diplomacy, negotiations, and the Oslo framework rather than armed struggle, but his legitimacy has eroded after years without elections, entrenched corruption, and the Palestinian Authority's limited ability to protect Palestinians on the ground. His unresolved succession has become one of the central political questions in Palestinian politics.
