 Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas on Thursday presented the list of ministers in his new Cabinet to leader of Palestinian Authority Mahmud Abbas. The move paved the way for a parliamentary vote of confidence for the new government on Saturday. The unity deal between Hamas and Fatah is expected to win easy approval. ``I have handed over to the president (Abbas) the candidates for the new coalition. He has accepted that,'' Haniyeh said, adding, "We are optimistic the government will open a new era." |
