Palestinian unity govt tomorrow
2014-05-29
[The Peninsula] The Paleostinian interim unity government will be sworn in tomorrow before President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
, a Paleostinian official said yesterday.

"Abbas will announce the new government himself and then it will be sworn in on Thursday," the official said, reported Xinhua news agency.

The current Prime Minister Rami Al Hamdallah will lead the future government and he will also be given the disputable portfolio of interior minister, the official said. He added that the current foreign and finance ministers will be present in the upcoming consensus government.

Earlier, Fatah and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, leaders held a meeting in Gazoo to put the final touches on the new cabinet lineup. A similar meeting was held in Gazoo on Monday.

#1  he will also be given the disputable portfolio of interior minister

I don't know if that is a diplomatic term or just funny.

Anyone got an over/under on how long unity will prevail in the interim unity govt?
