'When the prime minister of that government, Rami Hamdallah says that he is an employee of the Head of the Palestinian Self-Rule Administration (PNA) Mahmoud Abbas, this means that he is not the head of the Palestinian National Unity Government, but the head of the Fatah government.
He said that Hamas will think about the alternative options after the end of the six month deadline of the Palestinian National Unity Government to meet its defined commitments.
