RAMALLAH, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- The central committee of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party recommended on Sunday evening the formation of a national unity government soon.
In a press statement following a meeting chaired by Abbas, the central committee said the new unity government should comprise political factions, members in the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and independent Palestinian figures to replace the current consensus government headed by Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah.
The Fatah central committee also recommended the formation of a committee that includes Fatah leaders to begin dialogue and consultations with PLO factions on the formation of the new government.
The current Palestinian consensus government was formed in mid-2014 in accordance to a reconciliation agreement reached in Gaza in the house of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh.
