Rami Hamdallah (Arabic: رامي الحمد الله, romanizedRāmī al-Ḥamd Allāh; born 10 August 1958) is a Palestinian politician and academic. He served as prime minister of the Palestinian National Authority from 2014 to 2019[1] and president of An-Najah National University in Nablus.[2]

On 2 June 2013, the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas named him to succeed Salam Fayyad as prime minister.[3] His appointment was not recognized by Hamas, who were not consulted in the decision.[4] He is a member of Fatah;[5] however, the BBC states that he is a political independent.[6] On 20 June 2013, Hamdallah tendered his resignation, which Abbas accepted on 23 June.[7] Six weeks after that, Abbas asked Hamdallah to form a new government, which he did on 19 September 2013.[8] He was appointed the head of the unity government on 2 June 2014,[9] a position from which he resigned on 29 January 2019.[10]
