BREAKING NEWS: Palestinian officials said Monday they will start forming a national unity government in coming days, but acknowledged that previous dealbreakers, such as control over the security forces and the fate of Hamas' militia, remain unresolved.
Under the power-sharing deal reached last week in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the Hamas-led Cabinet is to step down in the coming days, to make way for a coalition government with the rival Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
The two sides have agreed to a division of Cabinet posts, but have not yet agreed on who should fill the majority of Cabinet posts, including who will be interior minister and thus control security forces. Wrangling over such control contributed to deadly Hamas-Fatah clashes in Gaza in recent months.
