The president of the PNA, Abu Mazen, is preparing to appoint the new Palestinian prime minister Muhammad Mustafa in place of Mohammed Shtayyeh who resigned last February.
Ramallah sources told Haaretz.
Mustafa, whose name has been circulating for weeks, is the head of the 'Palestine Investment Fund', the financial lung of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA).
The change of the Palestinian executive with one made up of technicians capable of managing the post-war situation in Gaza is one of the requests from the USA in the overall vision of the area after the conflict.
The PA's involvement in Gaza is strongly opposed by Israel.
