[Al Arabiya Latest] Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas announced on Monday that a new government will be formed in 48 hours and Hamas immediately attacked the move as an attempt to sabotage reconciliation talks set to resume earlier next week. "A new government will be formed within the next 48 hours," Abbas told a meeting of his Fatah party.
The new Palestinian government will replace the current cabinet headed by Salam Fayyad. But according to Palestinian officials, Abbas will once again ask Fayyad to form the new government that will not include the rival Islamist movement Hamas. |
