Palestinian prime minister Rami Hamdallah presented his resignation to president Mahmud Abbas on Thursday, only two weeks after he took office, a high-ranking government official told AFP.

Hamdallah "presented his resignation in writing to the president following disagreements with his two deputies," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
