Why not? America has a king but no monarchy. Might as well give a stateless nation a president-of-state title. From the Jerusalem Post:
Palestinian Liberation Organization leaders voted Sunday to give Mahmoud Abbas an additional title of president of the Palestinian state. The move comes ahead of the anticipated showdown with rivals from the Hamas over the end of Abbas' term.
Abbas was elected Palestinian Authority president in 2005. Hamas says his term ends in January. Abbas' loyalists say he has an additional year. Hamas rules Gaza, while Abbas runs the West Bank.
