Palestinian factions agree on unity cabinet
GAZA, March 14 (Reuters) - President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah and Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas agreed on the make-up of a Palestinian unity government on Wednesday and will submit it to parliament for approval on Saturday, officials said.
The cabinet deal was reached when Abbas and Haniyeh settled on an academic with little security experience for the hotly-contested post of interior minister, which oversees key security services.
"We have finished all the issues relating to the formation of the government," Haniyeh said after talks with Abbas in Gaza.
