Abstract

The article discusses the anticipated reforms within the Palestinian Authority (PA) under President Mahmoud Abbas, particularly the potential appointment of a vice president during the Palestine Liberation Organization's Central Council meeting. These reforms aim to address internal issues and enhance the PA's legitimacy, especially in light of international expectations and regional pressures from Arab states. Key changes include administrative restructuring, a revision of stipend payments to families of Palestinian prisoners, and efforts to unify the Fatah movement. The article suggests that while these reforms may appear to weaken Abbas's political dominance, they are strategically designed to maintain support from Arab and European donors and position the PA favorably for future governance discussions in Gaza.
