Fatah Eyes Bigger Slice of Fayyad's West Bank Palestinian Government
(Reuters) Leading members of the dominant Fatah movement are demanding more power in the PA cabinet of U.S.-backed Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, Fatah officials said on Tuesday. Fatah's Revolutionary Council wants to turn the interior affairs, finance and foreign affairs portfolios currently held by Fayyad loyalists over to Fatah members. A close confidant of Fayyad said the premier would not mind Fatah taking any post except finance, which he holds and which is off-limits.
