RAMALLAH: Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas will decide how to reform the government of caretaker prime minister Rami Hamdallah in the middle of August, a senior official said on yesterday.
“President Abbas will decide on the legal status of the current government on the 14th of the next month,” Palestine Liberation Organisation executive committee member Wassel Abu Yusef said.
“The caretaker period will end on August 14 and then president Abbas must either choose someone else to form a government or form it himself,” he added.
At the heart of the crisis is a dispute over division of responsibilities within government.
