Palestinian Authority Chairperson Mahmoud Abbas has decided to fire as many as 35 of his foreign envoys, Arab media reported on Sunday, continuing an administrative overhaul that already saw 12 P.A. governors removed from their posts.
In a press release quoted by the pan-Arab media outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, the P.A. Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates confirmed that Ramallah had informed “a number of ambassadors who have reached or exceeded the retirement age that the retirement procedures for them will begin within a period of time and according to the rules.”
