RAMALLAH, July 1, 2015 (WAFA - PLO news agency) – Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Yasser Abed Rabbo
has been discharged from the post, Ahmad al-Majdalani, member of the PLO
Executive Committee, said on Wednesday.

Majdalani told a local radio that during an Executive Committee meeting on
Tuesday, senior PLO officials agreed to discharge Abed Rabbo and thus
temporarily assigning his duties to President Mahmoud Abbas before another
chairman is appointed.

Abed Rabbo began his political life in the mid 1960s, but only gained
prominence after the signing of the Oslo Accords between the PLO and Israel
in 1993. He was a cabinet member for FIDA party in several of the
Palestinian National Authority governments, and served on several
Palestinian diplomatic delegations during negotiations with Israel.

Meanwhile, Abbas told the PLO meeting he had asked Prime Minister Rami
Hamdallah to consider a minor cabinet reshuffle on the current National
Consensus government. The decision came after talks with Hamas on a unity
government arrived at an impasse.
