In Ramallah, the appointment of the new Prime Minister leaves the Palestinians unmoved. As the war in the Gaza Strip has entered its sixth month, there is something of a beginning of movement in internal politics.
The appointment of Mohammad Mustapha as head of government is almost no news on the streets of Ramallah. “This will not change anything,” says Ahmad, “we will always have the same Palestinian authority: illegitimate, aging and corrupt.” “If there are Palestinian elections, I will only vote for the people. Hamas? Fatah? No thanks. We are part of the same people so deep down, we should all have the. same goal: not to have more money, power, cars,’ says Bilal.
