New Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah Resigns 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has accepted the resignation of his
new prime minister less than three weeks after Rami Hamdallah was
appointed. Hamdallah was selected to replace the outgoing Salam Fayyad,
but reportedly resigned following a conflict over authority related to
his deputy prime ministers. The shakeup comes days before Secretary of
State John Kerry is due to arrive in the region in a bid to renew peace
talks with Israel.
