Al-Marsad newspaper: The Palestinian ambassador to the United Kingdom, Hossam Zomlot, revealed that two Arab countries helped “form a new Palestinian technocratic government,” amid consultations between all Palestinian factions, including the Hamas movement.
Zomlot said that the two countries are Egypt and Qatar, stressing that “Hamas will not have members in the new technocratic government, but the fact of consulting with it shows that efforts are underway to find out whether Palestinian unity between Hamas and Fatah is achievable.”
He explained that the prospective government will be “a purely technocratic government without factions, and it is designed to unify the Palestinians, their geography, and their political system.”
He added: “The political landscape has changed. This is the time to listen to our people, not the time for political factions. It is our responsibility to provide a government that can provide for the needs of its people, and unite our people and our political system.”
He expressed his hope that the formation of a technocratic government would be followed by “holding Palestinian parliamentary and presidential elections.” He did not specify a specific timetable for implementing this, but he said that the matter would be a matter of months, not years.
