Fatah deplores Hamas's position on forming a new government. Fatah movement expressed its "surprise and disapproval at Hamas' talk of exclusivity and division" Fatah: "The real disconnect from reality and the Palestinian people is the leadership of Hamas, which has not yet felt the magnitude of the catastrophe that our oppressed people are experiencing" The Palestinian President assigned the head of the Palestine Investment Fund (the sovereign fund), Muhammad Mustafa, to form new government to succeed Muhammad Shtayyeh, who submitted his resignation last February.
It is noteworthy that the Prime Minister-designate is not a member of the Fatah Movement led by Abbas.
