Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa has formed a new cabinet on in which he will also serve as foreign minister, making an immediate ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza a top priority, Palestinian news agency WAFA has reported.

Reuters reports he was also assigned to lead the relief and rebuilding of Gaza, which has been shattered by more than five months of fighting, while he performs double-duty as foreign minister, replacing Riyad al-Maliki who had served in the position since 2009.

President Mahmoud Abbas approved Mustafa’s cabinet with financial expert Omar al-Bitar as finance minister, and Muhamad al Amour, who served as the president of the Palestinian Businessmen Association, as economy minister, but kept Ziad Hab al-Reeh, former chief of the Palestinian Authority’s internal intelligence agency, as interior minister, WAFA said.

The new cabinet will also include a state minister for “relief affairs”.

Mustafa said in a cabinet statement addressed to Abbas that the first national priority is an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a complete Israeli withdrawal from the enclave, in addition to allowing humanitarian aid to enter in large quantities and reaching all areas, WAFA reported.

“In order to enable the launch of the recovery process and preparation for reconstruction, stop the aggression and settlement activities, and curb settlers’ terrorism in the West Bank,” Mustafa added.
