Erdogan and Abbas will discuss recent developments in Gaza as well as the situation in the West Bank, the diplomatic source said.

To revitalize and revamp the PA, much more will be needed than to merely replace the prime minister, who – in any event – plays second fiddle to the president, a man who essentially rules by decree.

Shtayyeh, a member of ruling party Fatah's Central Committee, has been Palestinian prime minister since 2019.

“Mohammed Shtayyeh will step down from the prime minister position, and [Mahmoud] Abbas will appoint someone even more corrupt," a Hamas source told Al Arabiya.

Despite the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, there are reports that the current Palestinian government headed by Mohammed Shtayyeh could resign and lead to the creation of a new government.
