The labor minister in the Palestinian Authority will resign, a member of his party said Sunday, as protesters marched for a fourth day demanding president Mahmoud Abbas step down.
The left-wing Palestinian People's Party has decided to withdraw from the Fatah-led PA government due to "its lack of respect for laws and public freedoms", central committee member Issam Abu Bakr said.
Nasri Abu Jaish, the labor minister and the People's Party representative in the government, will therefore resign on Monday, Abu Bakr told AFP.
