Mahmoud Abbas Appoints Salam Fayyad As Palestinian PM

by | 15th, June 2007

CIVIL war among the Palestinians. If they could learn one thing from the Isrealis it is that you need to stick together if you are going to survive. But how can you talk when one faction is hell bent on murder:

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has appointed a new prime minister, a day after dissolving the Hamas-led unity coalition, officials say.

Former Finance Minister Salam Fayyad, an independent, has been asked to take over and form an emergency government.

The move comes amid political upheaval in Gaza, where Hamas has taken control after routing Fatah rivals.

Let’s hope he can get a grip…
