Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah on Monday offered to resign, amid efforts by President Mahmoud Abbas to form a new government, AFP reported. The move is seen as part of attempts by Abbas to further isolate his political rivals Hamas amid a deepening of a decade-long split in Palestinian politics. Hamdallah has “put his government at the disposal of President Mahmoud Abbas,” the prime minister’s spokesperson Yussef al-Mahmoud said. The central committee of Abbas’s Fatah movement recommended late Sunday the formation of a new government that would comprise members of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
