Palestinian president names interim successor if he has to leave post

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has named a temporary successor who would take over from him should he die or leave his post, addressing concerns of a possible power vacuum following his departure. In a statement released late on Wednesday, Abbas said the chairman of the Palestinian National Council should serve as interim president for no more than 90 days, during which presidential elections should be held. The current chairman of the Palestinians' top decision-making body is Rawhi Fattouh, 75, who also served briefly as a stop-gap leader following the death of Yasser Arafat in 2004.

Taliban administration officials to attend UN climate conference in Azerbaijan

KABUL (Reuters) -Afghan Taliban officials will attend a major United Nations climate conference that starts next week, the Afghan Foreign Ministry said on Sunday, the first time they have attended since the former insurgents took power in 2021. The COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan's capital Baku will be among the highest-profile multilateral events attended by Taliban administration officials since they took control in Kabul after 20 years of fighting NATO-backed forces. The U.N. has not allowed the Taliban to take up Afghanistan's seat at the General Assembly, and Afghanistan's government is not formally recognised by U.N. member states, largely due to the Taliban's restrictions on women's education and freedom of movement.

Dollar perks up in holiday trade; yen headed for strong week

(Reuters) -The dollar edged up from a two-week low against its major peers in holiday-thinned trading on Thursday, though the yen headed for its strongest week in nearly three months on growing bets that Japan will hike rates in December. Markets see about a 65% chance the Bank of Japan will hike rates next month. "It's likely to be a subdued couple of days to wrap up the week but I expect the dollar should rebound as December gets underway," said Michael Brown, senior research strategist at Pepperstone, adding that Wednesday's move that put the dollar back under 106 seemed a bit "detached from fundamentals."
