"We asked Fayyad to continue with his work until we see the results of the ongoing internal reconciliation talks," Abbas told reporters following Fayyad's statement of resignation.
Earlier, Fayyad submitted resignation to Abbas to pave way for a new Palestinian government of national unity.
In a statement received by RAMATTAN, Fayyad pointed out "the resignation would go into effect after the formation of a new Palestinian unity government, but no later than the end of the current month."
"I submitted resignation to president Abbas to support the efforts of restoring the Palestinian unity," he said, according to the statement.
Fayyad's decision can be seen as a goodwill gesture towards Hamas, and could support the ongoing reconciliation talks between all the Palestinian factions especially Fatah and Hamas.
