-Abbas will stay on
The speaker of the Fatah bloc of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), Azzam Al-Ahmad, argues that according to the Basic Law, the president’s post can be vacant only in one of three cases; if he dies, if the Higher Court and two thirds of the PLC decide that he is unqualified, or if he resigns. Hamas lawmakers have warned they will not recognize Mahmoud Abbas as president beyond the end of his term on 9 January.
