Hamas and Fatah argue over the appointment of a new Palestinian prime minister. Mohammad Mustafa's appointment follows last month's resignation of Mohammed Shtayyeh's government.
Fatah responded to Hamas, accusing the Islamist movement of "having caused the return of the Israeli occupation of Gaza" Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP, Marxist) slammed this appointment, accusing Mahmoud Abbas of being “disconnected” from reality. The appointment of the new Prime Minister proves “the deep crisis within the Palestinian Authority and its disconnection from reality”
