RAMALLAH, April 26, 2025 (WAFA) – The Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) officially approved today the nomination of Hussein Al-Sheikh as Deputy Chairman of the Executive Committee of the PLO and Deputy President of the State of Palestine.
The appointment was proposed by President Mahmoud Abbas in line with the decision issued by the Palestinian Central Council during its 32nd session held in Ramallah on April 24, 2025.
The Executive Committee meeting, chaired by President Abbas, also reviewed the outcomes of the Central Council's session and discussed practical measures to implement its decisions.
President Abbas reaffirmed the commitment to launching a comprehensive national dialogue, led by a joint committee from the PLO Executive Committee and Fatah's Central Committee, engaging all Palestinian factions to achieve reconciliation and reinforce national unity.
In addition, the President briefed the committee on upcoming political efforts aimed at halting the ongoing Israeli aggression and war of genocide in the Gaza Strip.
He stressed the urgent need to accelerate the entry of humanitarian and medical aid, ensure full governance of the State of Palestine over the Gaza Strip, and push for a complete Israeli withdrawal as a step toward launching a political process to end the occupation and realize an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The PLO Executive Committee is scheduled to meet again next Saturday to select its new Secretary-General from among its members.
