RAMALLAH, September 23, 2025 (WAFA) – Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa emphasized on Tuesday the importance of the current international momentum in accelerating the implementation of the international will to realize the establishment of the State of Palestine. This momentum has been made by the UN General Assembly session held on Monday, the recent International Conference on the Two-State Solution, and the continued wave of international recognitions of the State of Palestine.
The Prime Minister highlighted the significance of the upcoming meeting of thr Global Alliance for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution and the Donors Conference scheduled for Thursday—steps that should encourage countries that have yet to recognize the State of Palestine to do so without delay. He stressed that these international efforts constitute a concrete commitment to the two-State solution and a clear rejection of Israel’s settlement expansion and its grave violations in Gaza and the West Bank.
In its weekly session on Tuesday, the Cabinet called for building on this international momentum to serve as a genuine lever for enforcing the international will to achieve a comprehensive and permanent cessation of the war and to launch the reconstruction process. This, the Cabinet stressed, must be aligned with the implementation plans outlined in the New York Declaration, which set out concrete and time-bound steps toward the realization of the State of Palestine.
The Cabinet also discussed the warning issued by the Government Operations Room for Emergency Interventions in the Southern Governorates (Gaza Strip) regarding the total collapse of basic services and the suspension of humanitarian and relief institutions in the Gaza Strip, as a result of the catastrophic conditions caused by the ongoing Israeli genocidal war. The Cabinet called for urgent international humanitarian intervention to deliver medical supplies and rehabilitate essential health facilities to save the lives of patients and the wounded.
The Cabinet further reviewed preparations for the functional review plan of government departments, as part of the Government’s agenda and its National Program for Development and Reform. The review will continue in light of feedback from government institutions, with final approval to be made at an upcoming Cabinet session.
Additionally, the Cabinet approved the formation of a steering committee for the second phase of the Real Estate Registration Project, which aims to accelerate the registration of 130,000 properties and develop a new digital real estate registry system, as well as to establish e-services and digitize real estate records, along with automating data exchange.
The Cabinet also approved the purchase of additional quantities of medicines and medical consumables for the Ministry of Health facilities.
It endorsed a memorandum of understanding in the field of labour and employment between the Government of the State of Palestine and the Government of the Republic of Turkey, which includes the development of employment policies, labour market studies and needs assessments, and the exchange of relevant data and expertise.
Moreover, the Cabinet approved the amended regulation for licensing terrestrial and satellite radio and television stations, satellite broadcasting service companies, satellite office stations, and media production companies (Regulation No. 18 of 2018 and its amendments), particularly transferring the authority of the Ministry of Telecommunications to the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority.
The Cabinet also approved the amended regulation on licensing fees for press and publications and audiovisual media. The amendments aim to regulate these sectors and legally align the transfer of functions from the former Ministry of Information to the Ministry of Culture.
In a first reading, the Cabinet discussed the implementation plan for the National Cross-Sectoral Strategy for Enhancing Governance and Combating Corruption (2025–2030). This plan serves as a national policy reference for awareness, prevention of corruption, prosecution of suspected cases, and international cooperation in this regard.
As part of the efforts of the Ministry of Telecommunications and Digital Economy to manage and digitize data systems, the Cabinet approved the formation of a High Committee tasked with prioritizing the digitization of vital government data and securing digital backup copies of sovereign data. This comes in parallel with the Ministry’s ongoing work on cloud storage and strengthening data protection systems.
