Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced Tuesday that the Palestinian unity government led by Prime Minister Rami Al-Hamdallah was expected to tenders its resignation over the next few days, with the goal of assembling a new cabinet in its wake.

Abbas made his announcement during a meeting of the Fatah's Revolutionary Council.

The president's initiative stems from the fact that the current government is struggling to function, particularly in the Gaza Strip. AFP earlier Tuesday quoted the secretary general of Fatah's Revolutionary Council, Amin Maqbul, as saying that the government would "resign in the next 24 hours because this one is weak and there is no chance that Hamas will allow it to work in Gaza."

According to Palestinian sources, Abbas is expected to appoint Hamdallah again to form the new government, which will include a number of changes from its current formation.

Despite the inability to implement the reconciliation agreement with Hamas, the platform of the new government will be to still try to form a national government, comprising the various Palestinian factions.

The Palestinians are not expecting any dramatic events over the next month, particularly considering that Ramadan will begin on Thursday.

The Fatah-Hamas reconciliation government was forged between the rival Palestinian movements in June 2014, after the Gaza-based Islamist group Hamas and the PLO agreed to implement a unity pact to end the division of the two polities in April.

The Palestinian Authority split in two in June 2007, when Hamas forces kicked the PLO out of Gaza in battles that left over 100 dead and 500 wounded.
