1st cabinet meeting of unity govt to be held in Gaza after Eid

RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- The first cabinet meeting of the Palestinian unity government will take place in Gaza after the Eid al-Adha holiday, a Palestinian official said late Wednesday.

Hussein al-Sheikh, Minister of Civil Affairs, told Ma'an that the meeting is an important indicator of the agreement last week between Fatah and Hamas to let the unity government take control of Gaza.

It will also show Palestinians that the unity government is ready to provide services to citizens in Gaza, he added.

A committee of PA, UN and Israeli officials are due to meet on Thursday for further discussions of the entry of construction material to the Gaza Strip, al-Sheikh said.
