Earlier in the day, Shtayyeh submitted the resignation of his government to Abbas, Xinhua news agency reported.

During the weekly cabinet meeting held in Ramallah, Shtayyeh said, “The decision to resign comes in light of the developments in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jerusalem,” underscoring the challenging circumstances under which his government operated.
