Eyeing reconciliation, Palestinian PM resigns
Globe and Mail Update Sat, 7 Mar 2009 11:28 EST
Jerusalem — Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas accepted the resignation of his prime minister Salam Fayyad Saturday, a move that could pave the way for a unity government between the rival Fatah and Hamas parties.
But it remains in question if Hamas and Fatah will be able to resolve their differences — and if they do, whether Israel and the West will be willing to work with it.
Mr. Abbas said in a televised speech after receiving Mr. Fayyad's resignation, that he had asked the government to stay in office a unity government is formed.
Mr. Fayyad agreed.
