The Authority\u2019s president, now over eighty, seems to be racing against time to secure a &#8220;guaranteed successor&#8221; in a formula that satisfies Washington and Tel Aviv while marginalizing the resistance and all who champion it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"1863\">The Democratic Front withdrew, the Popular Front boycotted, and the National Initiative rejected it. Nevertheless, the decision passed with a nominal majority, stripping it of broad consensus and transforming what was supposed to be a reformative step into yet another unraveling of the Palestinian political scene.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16468\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16468 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/uuuu-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Palestinian Authority Reshuffles Power Amid War\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/uuuu-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/uuuu-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/uuuu-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/uuuu-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/uuuu.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli war on Gaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"70\" data-end=\"94\"><strong data-start=\"70\" data-end=\"94\">Power Without People<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"2178\">Ironically, the new decision gives Abbas exclusive authority to nominate, dismiss, or accept the resignation of the vice president\u2014essentially rendering the new position symbolic.
