Months after having formed, the Palestinian Authority unity government is about to hold its first Cabinet meeting in Gaza.
A senior PA official in Ramallah, Deputy Prime Minister Mohamed Mustafa, made the announcement Monday, saying the Cabinet will meet on Thursday for the first time.
The meeting is strategically scheduled to be held just three days prior to an international donors’ conference.
The PA is hoping to raise $4 billion for development in Gaza, which lost many of its buildings this summer during Israel’s counter terror Operation Protective Edge.
