A new Palestinian government led by recently appointed Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa will be sworn in today.
Mustafa, who is Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's economic adviser, was appointed earlier this month, replacing Mohammed Shtayyeh.
The move came amid US pressure to revitalise the Palestinian Authority as part of the White House's post-war planning for Gaza.
On 28 March, Mustafa presented his cabinet and its new programme to Abbas, who signed a decree on the new government.
