"It's good that he's left. This gives (Fatah-Hamas)
reconciliation a way forward," said Mohammed Dar Ahmed, 23, who is one of
the 4,800 Palestinians in Israeli jails. Dar Ahmed spoke to Reuters during an
Israeli-sponsored media tour of Ofer prison in the West Bank.
"What about settlements, what about the prisoners? We need a prime minister who will solve the issues of Palestine," he said. It was not immediately clear why he was in prison.
Palestinian law requires the president choose Fayyad's replacement within two weeks, but Abbas has outstayed his own term by four years and parliament has been defunct for years.
He may yet wait for an elusive Hamas-Fatah pact before he appoints a unity cabinet, which could take months.

New Delhi has also clarified it had
no concerns over the security of the High Commissioner or any of its diplomats
in Bangladesh.
“Our High Commission is in touch with Bangladeshi authorities who are investigating the case, so let us wait for the outcome of those investigations, before jumping to any conclusion, whether it was at all an attack related to the High Commission,” Syed Akbaruddin, spokesperson of the Indian Government’s Ministry of External Affairs, told journalists in New Delhi on Saturday.
Saran was having a meeting on the Khulna Chamber of Commerce and Industries premises when three bombs exploded close to his car parked nearby.

Meanwhile, Sub Inspector Md Zafar Ahmed of the Khulna Sadar Police Station has filed a General Diary over the explosions on Saturday, station’s Officer in Charge Shahabuddin Azad has said.
The Indian MEA Spokesman said that the High Commissioner had gone ahead with his engagements in Khulna even after the explosions.
Saran on Saturday travelled to Jessore to visit the Ramakrishna Mission there. He is likely to fly back to Dhaka as per his pre-scheduled programme.
“Since those explosions, the High Commissioner has received a large number of calls expressing concerns for him and assuring him that full security will be provided to him and all the High Commission officials. So, we have no cause for concern there,” said Akbaruddin.
OC Azad, however, said no one has been detained in connection with the explosions yet, but added that the police were trying to nab the perpetrators.
