Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, now 89 years old, is taking steps to ensure an orderly transfer of power in anticipation of a scenario where he may be unable to fulfill his duties due to health issues or other incapacitation.
President Trump is preparing for his return to the White House, having already appointed key figures to his administration who will shape Middle East policy.
His goals reportedly include preventing conflicts and fostering economic prosperity, alongside a personal ambition to secure a Nobel Peace Prize.
However, commentators in the region question whether his team is equipped to deliver on these promises.
The PA is increasingly concerned that Israel may seek to annex parts of Judea and Samaria during the upcoming term of former President Donald Trump.
PA officials report that President Mahmoud Abbas has made a strategic decision to lift the boycott on Trump’s administration, resuming negotiations with Israel on the basis of a two-state solution.
