Mahmoud Abbas
Mahmoud Abbas is a Palestinian political leader serving as the President of the Palestinian Authority since 2005 and as the Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). He is known for his moderate stance and efforts to negotiate peace with Israel, although his leadership has faced criticism for being ineffective in achieving significant progress in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Abbas' administration has also dealt with internal divisions, particularly with the militant group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip. His position has been further complicated by the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and recent proposals by international leaders, including Donald Trump, which have raised questions about the future of Palestinian sovereignty.
