PA to appoint new Ramallah government ‘within days’ — official

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will appoint a prime minister to lead a new, Ramallah-based government “within days,” Hussein al-Sheikh, a close confidant of the Palestinian leader, tweets.

In late January, PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and his fellow government ministers tendered their resignations.

Abbas later accepted their resignations and assigned them the task of maintaining the PA government’s operations until the formation of a new one.
