GAZA CITY (AFP) - The Palestinian Cabinet met in Gaza on Tuesday (Oct 3) for the first time since 2014 in a further step towards the internationally recognised Palestinian Authority taking control of the territory.
In an opening speech, Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah renewed his pledge to end a decade-long split between the Islamist Hamas movement that controls Gaza and his West Bank-based government, an AFP correspondent reported.
