"Resignation of Palestinian Prime Minister and Government Amid Gaza Conflict"
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh and his government have resigned amid pressure from the United States to reform and improve governance in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The PA, established in the mid-1990s, exercises nominal self-rule in parts of the territory and is dominated by the Fatah political party. The US favors a reformed PA controlling both the West Bank and Gaza as part of a future independent state, but Shtayyeh has expressed skepticism about the current US administration's political will to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
