Abstract
Significance Long unpopular, Abbas has lost further ground in 2021 owing to his cancellation of scheduled parliamentary and presidential elections, abuses by his PA security forces and the Gaza conflict in May, which resulted in a dramatic shift in public attitudes in favour of Islamist movement Hamas. Impacts Washington will restore aid to the PA and reopen its diplomatic missions in Washington, then Jerusalem. The United States could encourage an easing of the Israeli blockade on Gaza to allow reconstruction. The Fatah party could splinter further as internal tensions rise.
