Hamas Says New PM Could Threaten Unity Deal 
--------------------------------------------


 
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has appointed a West Bank university
professor as the new Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority. Rami
Hamdallah will replace the outgoing Salam Fayyad, who formally steps
down next month. The Gaza-based Hamas has criticized Abbas' pick, saying
it could jeopardize a tentative unity government agreed to in principle
last month.
