Background and career
Rami Hamdallah (Arabic: رامي الحمد الله, romanized: Rāmī al-Ḥamd Allāh; born 10 August 1958) is a Palestinian politician and academic. He served as Prime Minister of Palestine from 2013 to 2019 and was previously the president of An-Najah National University in Nablus from 1998 to 2013.
On 2 June 2013, the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas named him to succeed Salam Fayyad as prime minister. His appointment was not recognized by Hamas, who were not consulted. He is a member of Fatah although the BBC described him as a political independent. On 20 June 2013, Hamdallah tendered his resignation, which Abbas accepted on 23 June. Six weeks later, Abbas asked Hamdallah to form a new government, which he did on 19 September 2013. He was appointed the head of the unity government on 2 June 2014, a position from which he resigned on 29 January 2019.
