Palestinian President Accepts Prime Minister's Resignation Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has accepted the resignation of his newly appointed prime minister. Mr. Abbas` spokesman said Sunday the president has asked Rami Hamdallah`s to stay on in a caretaker role until a replacement prime minister can be found. Hamdallah abruptly resigned last week over a conflict with his deputies. The prime minister served just two weeks on the job, disheveling the Palestinian Authority at a time when Mr. Abbas is focusing on a U.S. push to restart peace talks with Israel. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/palestinian-president-accepts-prime-m inisters-resignation/1687430.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/palestinian-president-accepts-prime-ministers-resignation/1687430.html
