First and Second Hamdallah Governments
The Palestinian government of June 2013 by Rami Hamdallah was an emergency cabinet, appointed by Presidential decree by Mahmoud Abbas on 6 June 2013 in Ramallah. Two weeks later, Hamdallah resigned in protest of the appointment of two deputy prime ministers for political and economic affairs. However, Hamdallah later backtracked and on 19 September 2013, the cabinet was sworn in for the second time, without any changes.[1]
The governments succeeded the successive 2007 and 2009 cabinet whose head, Salam Fayyad had resigned as a consequence of the anti-corruption protests. In June 2014, the government was replaced by a "unity government".
