A Series of Decisions Taken.. Mustafa During the Government Session: The Presidency and Government's Efforts Continue to Stop the Aggression Against Our People

SadaNews - The Council of Ministers, in its weekly session held today, Wednesday, discussed the repercussions of the difficult field and economic reality that Palestinians are experiencing, amidst the continued aggression of the occupation and the escalating attacks by settlers, alongside the ongoing detention of tax revenues and the imposition of a suffocating economic blockade that threatens the ability of national institutions to perform their basic functions, increasing the living pressures on public sector employees and other segments of society.

The Prime Minister, Dr. Mohammad Mustafa, affirmed that "despite the magnitude of the challenges, the efforts of the presidency and the government continue to stop the aggression against our people and secure the urgent release of tax revenues in cooperation with brotherly and friendly countries, in order to alleviate the economic crisis and to protect the steadfastness of our national institutions," stressing that "our resolve will not waver, and we will continue to work to restore our people's political and economic rights."

He also called for intensifying international efforts to rescue the families in the Gaza Strip and exerting pressure through all possible means on the occupying government to stop the daily killings, starvation, and displacement that two million Palestinians in the Strip are subjected to, and to ensure the delivery of aid in humanitarian ways and with the involvement of international organizations, to avoid the daily killings of those waiting for assistance, which have resulted in more than 600 martyrs and thousands of injured since the resumption of the aggression.

In addition, the Council of Ministers discussed the dangers of Israeli plans in the so-called "C" areas and the escalation of attacks by the occupation and its settlers, along with annexation and confiscation projects. Accordingly, it approved the formation of a national team to develop a practical vision regarding the follow-up of land settlement in these areas, in conjunction with the efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the diplomatic corps in rallying international positions supportive of the rights of Palestinians and rejecting the illegal Israeli measures.

The council also followed up on the preparations of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education for holding the secondary education exam in the Gaza Strip and the collaboration with various technical teams working on the ground in the Strip to ensure its success, alongside discussions on the ministry's preparations to deal with challenges and field conditions, and its preparation of different question models to ensure the safety of procedures.

The council discussed in the first reading a special system regarding consumption standards for self-energy consumption, which includes pricing control, production, and consumption of renewable energy, especially in light of the government's direction toward reliance on renewable energy sources and increasing local energy production, which requires regulations and legislations to organize the sector, particularly pricing and regulatory frameworks between consumers wishing to produce energy and distribution companies, while considering adding storage units. The system was referred to government departments and various authorities for study and opinion, in parallel with the consultations carried out by the Electricity Sector Regulatory Council and the Energy Authority with various partners.

As part of the Ministry of Education's initiative to improve the school environment and rehabilitate schools and educational facilities, the council approved the recommendations of the special committee for evaluating old and unsuitable school buildings, which included the removal and reconstruction of several schools in various governorates to ensure the safety of students.

Based on the presidential decree issued in March 2025 regarding the organization of public administration of crossings and borders and amending its name, the Council of Ministers approved the organizational structure of the Ministry of the Interior by directly following the General Authority for Crossings and Borders under the Minister of Interior, contributing to the development of the services provided to citizens.
