Warning that the Palestinians are on the verge of civil war, 24 Palestinian legislators signed a petition on Thursday calling for the replacement of Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei's cabinet, saying it is responsible for the growing anarchy and lawlessness in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The legislators presented the petition to the Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Rouhi Fatouh, and urged him to hold a special session to vote on a no-confidence bill against the cabinet. Fatouh is required to reply to the petition within three days.
On Wednesday, the PLC agreed following a heated debate to give Qurei an additional two weeks to present a report about the performance of his cabinet over the past year. Thirty-three legislators supported the decision, while 15 opposed it.
Legislator Rafik Natsheh lashed out at Qurei, accusing him of trying to win time to cover up for the failure of his cabinet. He said the security chaos was the result of the failure of the PA leadership to take real measures to implement reforms.
