Under US pressure to reform the PA, Mahmoud Abbas has appointed a new prime minister.

Amid mounting pressure from the United States, the Palestinian Authority is shaking up its leadership.

President Mahmoud Abbas has named his financial adviser as the new prime minister.

And does it have enough backing from Palestinians to move forward?
