The Palestinian Authority (PA) is moving to draft an interim constitution for a future Palestinian state.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday issued a decree to form a committee to draft the document.
The statement said that committee would include; “national, political and community figures, as well as legal and constitutional experts, taking into account the representation of civil society and gender.”
The move comes as several European countries have announced plans to recognise a Palestinian state headed by the PA in September at the UN General Assembly.
