💨 Abstract

Senior Palestinian officials are meeting to vote on creating a vice presidency for a possible successor to President Mahmoud Abbas. The meeting comes as Abbas seeks a role in postwar planning for the Gaza Strip, which has been dominated by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. In his opening speech, Abbas criticized Hamas and called for their disarmament. The new vice president would likely be the front-runner to succeed Abbas.
