GAZA, Nov. 11 (Xinhuanet) -- New Palestinian National Authority (PNA) ministers from the Fatah movement denied on Tuesday that they had resigned from the new cabinet which Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei has finished forming.

    Israeli media reported that three nominated ministers in Qurei's new cabinet, Jawad Tibi, Rawhi Fatouh and Hisham Abdel Razeq, had resigned and called upon all other Fatah ministers to follow suit.

    Tibi, who is nominated as the health minister, told Xinhua that he did not present any resignation from the new cabinet.

    "Because I'm not a minister in a government until it is approvedby the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC)," he said.

    Tibi noted that he is still a member in an acting emergency cabinet headed by Qurei and he is not a minister yet in the new cabinet as long as it has not been approved by the PLC.

    PLC members and the nominated ministers who represent Fatah movement in the PLC were headed to the West Bank town of Ramallah Tuesday to prepare for the PLC meeting that is scheduled to be heldon Wednesday to approve the new cabinet, Tibi said.

    Razeq, the nominated minister of prisoners' affairs and an architect of the Geneva peace accords signed with Israeli left-wingleaders, said he was "not obliged to deny everything published by the Israeli media." Enditem
