When will Mahmoud Abbas step down? – At 85 years of age, reportedly in ill health and with the Palestinian street demanding his resignation, all signs are that the Abbas era is over. | JNS.org
(June 29, 2021 / JNS) The sun has set on the dictatorship of Mahmoud Abbas, and it is now just a matter of time until he leaves the scene.
Initially elected as Palestinian Authority president in 2005, Abbas is now in his sixteenth year of what, according to P.A. law, was meant to be a four-year term. Since his election, Abbas has rejected or quashed any attempt to hold new elections. In January this year, under pressure from the United States and European Union, Abbas announced that the P.A. would hold its first general elections since 2006. The general elections were to be followed by presidential elections.
