"Understanding the Resignation and Reconstruction of the Palestinian Authority's Government"

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh resigned and dissolved the PA government, signaling an acknowledgment of the need for change amid international and internal pressure. The move comes ahead of planned negotiations for a unity government between Fatah and Hamas and amidst ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas. However, the resignation may not lead to immediate material change, as the PA's internal and external legitimacy is waning, and President Mahmoud Abbas remains in power with little internal support. The dissolution of the PA government faces significant hurdles, including Israel's opposition and the need for a clear path toward Palestinian statehood for Arab states to fund Gaza's reconstruction.
