The Palestinian government submitted its resignation to Abu Mazen - voila! news. The government of Mohammad Ashteyeh will be replaced by an interim government, amid American pressure to carry out reforms.

The resignation of the government should pave the way for the establishment of a unity government in the future. It is unclear whether Hamas will be part of it, given the differences of opinion. The ongoing ones between him and Fatah of Abu Mazens is one of the reasons for the resignation.
