PALESTINIAN PRIME MINISTER RESIGNS
Palestinian Prime Minster Ismail Haniyeh has quit as part of an
agreement to establish a national unity government. Haniyeh came to
power after Hamas swept the Palestinian elections a year ago. Since
then, a Western aid embargo has wrecked the domestic economy and
in-fighting has destabilized internal security. Almost 100
Palestinians have died in the past 3 months due to factional fighting
between Hamas and Fatah. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has
already agreed to re-appoint Haniyeh to the position of Prime Minister
in the national unity government.
