Palestinian officials warned that Israeli approval of additional housing units in east Jerusalem could derail plans to restart negotiations. President Abbas asked caretaker Prime Minister Hamdallah, who had previously resigned, to stay on and form a new government within five weeks. Hamas said President Abbas lacks the authority to conduct negotiations with Israel. A rocket fired from Gaza towards Israel reportedly landed in the coastal enclave.
