Amid mounting strain from the US, the Palestinian Authority is shaking up its management.
President Mahmoud Abbas has named his monetary adviser as the brand new prime minister.

So, how may this appointment form the way forward for the PA?
And does it have sufficient backing from Palestinians to maneuver ahead?
