Aziz Duwaik (born c. 1950) has been the Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative
Council (PLC) since his election to that post on 18 January 2006. Imprisoned in
Israel on 6 August 2006, on charges of being a member of Hamas, he was
released on 22 June 2009. Some Palestinians consider Duwaik, as speaker of the
PLC, to be the acting President of the Palestinian National Authority, since the
elected term of Mahmoud Abbas officially expired on 9 January 2009. Duwaik
himself has said that he is content to let Abbas ride out his term in office until
new elections can be held.
