Resignation of the Palestinian government

Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh submitted his government's resignation to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday.

Muhammad Shtayyeh said in his speech that the Gaza Strip is being subjected to genocide.

He stressed: “We will remain in confrontation with Israel until the establishment of the Palestinian state.”

The Palestinian Prime Minister added that the next stage requires new governmental and political arrangements, adding that it also requires the Authority’s management of all Palestinian territories.

Informed sources had previously revealed that Mahmoud Abbas is preparing to form a new government, in preparation for the next day of the war on Gaza, whose priority will be Gaza’s security and reconstruction.

The sources said that the new government will be a government of experts (technocrats), not a political government.
