Palestinian finance minister resigns
Muhammad Mustafa, the Palestinian Finance Minister, resigns in light of mounting criticism of the slow pace of rebuilding the Gaza Strip following Operation Protective Edge, Israel Radio reports.
Apart from his job as finance minister Mustafa is also deputy prime minister of the unity government with Hamas and was head of the committee responsible for rebuilding the Strip.
Before resigning, Mustafa, who has been the target of criticism for several months now, shifted blame toward countries that promised to send the Palestinians money or other assistance to rebuild Gaza, but have not done so.
