RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday accepted the resignation of newly-appointed Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah, the president's spokesman said.
Nabil Abu Rudeina said Abbas has asked Hamdallah to stay on as caretaker until a successor is sworn in.
Hamdallah, who was president of the Al-Najah University in Nablus, tendered his resignation on Thursday only two weeks after his government was sworn in.
His resignation followed a heated argument between his deputies Muhammad Mustafa and Ziad Abu Amr, whom Hamadallah had added to the new government.
Abbas held talks Hamdallah on Saturday for the second time in 24 hours, a senior official told Ma'an. more
