Palestinian President Abu Mazen is expected to announce the appointment of Muhammad Mustafa as prime minister. Arab and Western countries are divided on the question of whether Mustafa is the right person for the position.
The main issue that will be faced by the new Palestinian government will be the stabilization of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. The appointment of Mustafa and the establishment of what is supposed to be a government of technocrats is the first political step in the process of "renewal" after October 7.
