Encyclopedic overview
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 in the decision. He is a member of Fatah; however, the BBC states that he is a political independent. On 20 June 2013, Hamdallah tendered his resignation, which Abbas accepted on 23 June. Six weeks after that, 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.
