Perdana Menteri Palestinian Salam Fayyad

The Prime Minister (the PM) Palestinian Salam Fayyad decided to withdraw yesterday (7/3). Fayyad hoped, his step helped the process of the distribution of the authority between Fattah that had the power in the West Bank and Hamas that were dominant in the Gaza Strip.

This was a beginning effort to form the national government, said Fayyad in the official statement that was read out in Ramallah, the West Bank, after handing over the resignation letter to President Mahmoud Abbas, as being launched by Associated Press. Fayyad that the technocrat was appointed to the PM by Abbas in June 2007 after Hamas had the power in the Gaza Strip.

Since so, Palestine was divided into two governments. The West Bank was led by Abbas and Fayyad from Fattah that was supported West as well as Hamas in the Gaza Strip that was accused of being West as the organisation of the terrorist. The Hamas government in Gaza also must be faced with the border blockade that was done by Israel.

Hamas believing, as the winner of the general election, they that ought to lead the Palestinian government. The government (in the West Bank) that did not work for the interests of the Palestinian people, but for their interests personally. The step (Fayyad) that could have been expected from a quite illegal and unconstitutional government, said Fawzi Barhoum, the Hamas spokesperson, as being quoted by Reuters.

Meaning that, the prospect power sharing between Fattah and Hamas was still dark. The two fortifications have indeed been involved in talks of the beginning round at the end of last February. They also agreed to form the committee was separated to look for the upper solution to several differences of the attitude among the two sides. Also was agreed to by the government karteker that will be responsible for holding the presidential election and legislative. However, continue to end words of the two fortifications that was so for a long time was hostile that was not yet gotten.
