Awake Goy Days of Palestine, West Bank –Palestinian unity government formed last year to end internal Palestinian division resigned on Wednesday.
PM Rami Hamdallah handed his resignation to the Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas, who ordered him to form a new government, PA official said.
Discussions to form a new government would include consultations with the various Palestinian factions, the official added, including Hamas.
Monitors and sources said that Abbas planned to dissolve the government months ago due to Palestinian protests against it as it has been unable to carry out its mission, mainly represented in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and lifting the eight-year Israeli siege.
Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad have condemned the unilateral dissolution of the government, a decision they say they were not consulted over.
“No one told us anything about any decision to change and no one consulted with us about any change in the unity government. Fatah acted on its own in all regards,” Hamas spokesman Sami abu-Zuhri said.
Khalid al-Batsh, a senior leader in Islamic Jihad, also condemned the “unilateral” move to dissolve the unity government.
Meanwhile, Deputy Parliament Speaker Ahmed Bahar said that any government formed without a parliamentarian agreement would be unconstitutional.
