Palestine names Hussein al-Sheikh interim president for up to 90 days in case of vacancy.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas issued a decree on October 26, 2025, naming Hussein al-Sheikh as interim president if the presidency becomes vacant and the Palestinian Legislative Council is not in session.
Al-Sheikh, vice president of the PLO Executive Committee, would serve for up to 90 days, with possible extension if elections cannot be held due to force majeure, pending a decision by the Palestinian Central Council.
The move aims to ensure a peaceful transition of power, uphold constitutional institutions, and maintain stability amid concerns over Abbas’s health and internal divisions.
The decree revokes a prior arrangement and underscores efforts to safeguard democratic governance.
