Who is Mohammad Mustafa/ Could he be the next Palestinian prime minister?

Mohammad Mustafa

Mohammad Mustafa, who is expected to become prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, is one of the leading figures in Palestinian business, Reuters reports. 

A US-educated economist, he once headed the Palestinian telecommunications company Paltel and most recently the Palestine Public Investment Fund (PIF), with nearly $1 billion in assets to finance projects throughout the Palestinian territories.

He was appointed a decade ago to help lead reconstruction efforts in Gaza after an earlier war between Israel and the Islamist militant group Hamas.

Palestinian leaders may be hoping he can now emerge as a unifying figure if asked to rebuild the enclave after nearly five months of Israeli bombardment since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh, a member of Abbas's Fatah faction, resigned this week to make way for a unity cabinet. 

Although close to Abbas, Mustafa is not a member of Fatah, making him less controversial./ CNA
