Under pressure from the United States to reform the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas has named a new prime minister.
Amid growing pressure from the United States, the Palestinian Authority is restructuring its leadership.
President Mahmoud Abbas has appointed his financial advisor as the new prime minister.
Mohammed Mustafa, 69, has extensive experience in economics, but little in politics.
The move has surprised many: Violence is increasing in the occupied West Bank and Israel's war in Gaza shows no signs of ending.
So how could this appointment shape the future of the Palestinian Authority?
And does he have enough support from the Palestinians to move forward?
