RAMALLAH, West Bank — If the Palestinian Authority is to someday play a role in the governance of a post-war Gaza, then the resignation announced Monday by the body's prime minister could be seen as an important first step.
Following long-time calls for reform inside the Palestinian Authority, Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh announced that he was tendering the resignation of his cabinet. He will remain as head of a caretaker government until a new prime minister is announced.
