Aziz Dweik (/əˈziːz duːˈweɪk/ ə-ZEEZ doo-WAYK; Arabic: عزيز دويك ʿAzīz Dowēk; born 12 January 1947) is a Palestinian politician who was elected the speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) on 18 January 2006.
Hamas recognized Dweik as the interim President of the Palestinian National Authority and of the State of Palestine from 15 January 2009, when the elected term of Mahmoud Abbas officially expired, until 2 June 2014, when Hamas and Fatah agreed on the establishment of a national unity government under Abbas as President.[2][3]
In October 2023, amidst the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Dweik, who was then living in the West Bank, was arrested by the Israel Defense Forces.[4]
