Palestinian Leader Abbas Creates Vice President Position Amid Succession Rumors

ai generated text

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) voted Thursday to create the position of vice president under Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. It is the first time the organization has opened a number two role, a move that could pave the way for Abbas' successor.

  1. PS
    Hamas
    1. We in Hamas reject the continuation of this unilateral course and affirm our commitment to rebuilding the Palestine Liberation Organization on national and democratic foundations.
  2. PS
    Ramzi Rabah
    Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine
    1. This session was convened under Western pressure, particularly from the United States.
  3. PS
    Dianna Buttu
    1. The more fragmented the PA becomes, the more it will create a power vacuum … and that vacuum will be filled by external actors and mainly by the Americans and Israelis.
    2. Inside Fatah itself, there is a lot of pushback on this appointment of a vice president. They are all saying there should be elections instead.
  4. PS
    Aref Jaffal
    Al-Marsad Election Monitoring Center
    1. The Palestinian political system is already miserable, so I believe that all these arrangements are a prelude to creating a successor to Abbas.
  5. PS
    Khaled Elgindy
    Georgetown University
    1. Abbas has put this off out of fear that if he brought anyone forward, then they would be a rival.
