New unity government being discussed by Palestinian officials

The Palestinian Authority Tuesday announced it plans to hold talks next week with its main political rival Hamas in the hopes of forming a new unity government after the PLO said it would dissolve its current agreement less than two weeks ago.

 

In a communique with Palestinian media, PA spokesperson Ihab Bseiso said that the resignation of Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah was expected soon, cementing the dissolution of the government’s current form.

 

PLO Executive Committee members are said to be concluding current discussions concerning the structure of the new unity government, according to Palestinian news agency Ma’an.
