Prime Minister of the deposed Hamas government in Gaza Ismail Haneya said on Monday that he will reshuffle his deposed government soon.
He told a gathering of his government's representatives in Gaza that the move aims at pumping new blood to the government.
"The activities of the government are not linked with this minister or that one, the ministers come and go, and we are going to reshuffle the government soon," said Haneya.
He noted that his government had held consultations "with everyone without exception, adding that there are some people who refused to join the government.
Haneya formed a committee last December to consult with leaders of the other factions and political groups on reshuffling his government which was deposed by Abbas in June 2007 after Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip by force.
The major Palestinian factions announced that they won't join Haneya's government, explaining that joining another government in Gaza, while there has been a government in the West Bank, would empower the internal Palestinian split.
