The prime minister of the Palestinian faction that rules the West Bank says he will present a new government that excludes members of the rival Hamas group.
Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said in a statement to media Tuesday he will make the presentation in the evening.
He says the new government is composed mostly of officials from the Fatah Party, led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
The move is likely to deepen divisions between the rivals, almost two years after Hamas seized power in the Gaza Strip and split Palestinian territories in two.
Hamas and Fatah are still expected to continue reconciliation talks in Cairo in May.
Several rounds of talks have failed to bridge gaps in their key standings on Israel and violence.
