| Palestinian PM Salam Fayyad resigns to pave way for unity government |
| 2009-03-07 |
| PALESTINIAN Prime Minister Salam Fayyad has resigned from his post to pave the way for the formation of a national unity government, his office said today. "Prime Minister Salam Fayyad has submitted his resignation from the government of president Mahmud Abbas. This resignation will take effect following the formation of a national unity government by the end of this month," the statement said. Fayyad, a politically independent former World Bank economist, was appointed Prime Minister following the Hamas movement's bloody takeover of the Gaza Strip in June 2007, which cleaved the Palestinians into two hostile camps. |

| #2 Amazingly, if unbelieveably, this may be the one guy who actually knows what he's doing. I know it's asking too much, but it would be nice if the arrangements included an ongoing role for him. |

| #1 This resignation will take effect following the formation of a national unity government by the end of this month ...when it is actually formed? Or at the end of March, regardless? |
