Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh said, “There is an attempt by the current Israeli occupation government and its predecessors to annex areas called “C,” stressing that they are an integral part of the territory of the entire State of Palestine.”

Shtayyeh indicated in his speech at the beginning of the government session today, Monday, in Ramallah, that the Council of Ministers will discuss today strengthening the steadfastness of our people in areas called (C), and empowering our infrastructure in those areas.

He said: "Since the beginning of our work, we have given these regions a major priority in various fields, and today we are renewing the launch of programs related to these regions, and all ministries are working to make them successful, each according to their specialty."

Shtayyeh indicated that the Council of Ministers will discuss the latest draft of the Civil Service Law to be a modern and advanced law that addresses some of the failures and some loopholes in the previous law, and it will be submitted to President Mahmoud Abbas for approval and issuance.

The Council also discusses the draft spatial plan for the lands of the State of Palestine, and the recommendations of the Ministerial Committee related to the project that has been working on for three years. It also discusses expanding trade horizons with brotherly Jordan via the Karama crossing, and relevant recommendations for discussion with the brothers in Jordan.
