Palestinian Prime Minister submits resignation.

Reuters reported that Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh submitted his resignation today, February 26.

According to him, this decision aims to lay the groundwork for a broad consensus among Palestinians on political agreements following the Hamas-Israel conflict in the Gaza Strip.

AFP reported that Shtayyeh also called for "new political and governmental measures" to find a solution to the current conflict. In a cabinet address, Shtayyeh predicted that the next phase would need to take into account the new reality in Gaza, which has been devastated after nearly five months of fierce fighting.

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh convened a cabinet meeting on February 26.

He said this would "require new political and governmental agreements that take into account the emerging realities in the Gaza Strip, national unity talks, and the urgent need for consensus among the Palestinian people."

Furthermore, according to Shtayyeh, the new phase will also require "expanding the authority of the government to the entire Palestinian territories."

Shtayyeh's resignation still awaits the approval of the Palestinian President. Accordingly, Abbas has the right to request Shtayyeh remain in his position until a permanent replacement is appointed.

The Palestinian Authority has limited administrative power over areas in the West Bank, while Gaza has been controlled by Hamas since 2007.

Israeli Prime Minister says victory is within reach.

The Palestinian Authority and Hamas have been working to reach an agreement on a unity government and will meet in Moscow, Russia, on February 28.

Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters: "The resignation of Shtayyeh's government would only make sense if it came about in the context of national consensus on agreements for the next phase."
