Salam Fayyad Biography

Salam Fayyad is one of the most popular and richest Economist who was born on April 12, 1952 in Deir al-Ghusun, Palestine. Between 2007 between 2007 and 2013 Fayyad established as the Prime Minister various national reform programs that were in the media, and are sometimes called “Fayyadism”. He also announced the “Palestinian Reform and Development Plan 2008-2010” (PRDP), which was a West Bank First strategy, designed to weaken and isolate Hamas in Gaza by establishing an independent West Bank over Gaza, in line the American and Israeli wishes. It was based on strict control by PA security force and an economic model that was based on market forces (some might say Neoliberal) economic program. In 2009, the PA followed with the Reform and Development Plan, known as “Palestine: Ending the Occupation, Establishing the State”. Then in 2011, the president presented the following National Development Plan 2011-2013: Establishing the State and constructing our Future.

Fayyad served as the regional manager of the Arab Bank in the West Bank and Gaza until he accepted an offer to become Yasser Arafat’s Finance Minister in the Palestinian Authority Government of June 2002. He held this post until November 2005, when he resigned from the cabinet to run as founder and leader of the new Third Way party in the legislative elections of 2006 alongside Hanan Ashrawi and Yasser Abd Rabbo. The party yielded little success and only Fayyad and Ashrawi won their seats with only 2.41% of the popular vote. On 17 March 2007, Fayyad was again appointed Finance Minister, this time in the Fatah-Hamas unity government.

Fayyad resigned from the cabinet in November 2005 to run as founder and leader of the new Third Way party for the legislative elections of 2006. The party was not successful, and Fayyad returned as Finance Minister in the March 2007 Unity Government. Fayyad’s first appointment as Prime Minister on 15 June 2007, which was justified by Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas on the basis of “national emergency”, was not confirmed by the Palestinian Legislative Council. His successor, Rami Hamdallah, was named on 2 June 2013.

His tenure as Finance Minister lasted from June 2002 until November 2005, and from March 2007 until May 2012. Fayyad was the Prime Minister from June 2007 to June 2013.

Fayyad began his career as a teacher in Yarmouk University in Jordan. Then he worked for the World Bank in Washington from 1987 to 1995 and then from 1996 until 2001, he was the representative of the International Monetary Fond to Palestine and based in Jerusalem.

On 15 June 2007, following Hamas’ takeover of Gaza, Fayyad was appointed Prime Minister of a disputed emergency government, appointed by President Abbas. It was a government without any Fatah or Hamas members, supported by Fatah, Israel and the West. This appointment was challenged as illegal, because it was not approved by the Legislative Council as required by the Palestinian Basic Law.

In October 2010, The New York Review of Books published an article by Nathan Thrall on Fayyad’s security strategy. At the center are “special battalions” of the National Security Forces (NSF), referred to by Hamas as “the Dayton forces”. The officer in charge of the vetting, training, equipping, and strategic planning of these special battalions was Lieutenant General Keith Dayton, the United States security coordinator (USSC) for Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Security cooperation between Israel and Palestine reached unprecedented levels in the West Bank. Together they have largely disbanded Fatah’s al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, attacked Islamic Jihad groups, and all but eliminated Hamas’s social institutions, financial arrangements, and military activities in the West Bank.

On 29 June 2011, in contravention of the Palestinian Authority’s official position, and that of president Mahmoud Abbas, Fayyad expressed skepticism about its approach to the United Nations for a vote on statehood, saying it would be only a symbolic victory.

On 14 February 2011, Fayyad tendered his government’s resignation, two days after PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat had resigned over the leakage of the Palestine Papers, and one day after Abbas had unilaterally called for elections before September, without approval by Hamas. Abbas immediately asked Fayyad to form a new cabinet. Both, Fatah and Hamas declared themselves against the plan of Fayyad to form a unity government. On 4 May, however, Abbas and Khaled Meshal signed the Cairo agreement to form a transitional government of technocrats to prepare for legislative and presidential elections. In June, the negotiations were postponed indefinitely and Abbas changed the focus on a bid for UN recognition for Palestinian statehood in September 2011, instead of forming a unity government. Abbas expressed his concern over a government with any Hamas involvement because of the international opposition to such a government. Pending further Fatah–Hamas negotiations, Fayyad remained PM of the caretaker government.

On 23 August 2009, Fayyad came out with a plan to reform of the fundamental infrastructures of a Palestinian State, called “Palestine: Ending the Occupation, Establishing the State”, in which he detailed a two-year working plan for reinforcing the institutions of the future Palestinian State. This included, among other elements, a separation of powers, a free market, the development of existing infrastructure, and the building of new infrastructure such as government offices, a stock market, and an airport, all with the purpose of establishing a “de facto Palestinian State,” based on the premise that the peace talks with Israel were faltering.

Following the February 2012 Doha agreement and the successive May 2012 Cairo accord, which also failed to be implemented, Mahmoud Abbas asked Fayyad to form a new Cabinet, without Hamas’ involvement. On 16 May 2012, a reshuffled Cabinet saw the light. Fayyad gave up his post as Finance Minister in favour of Nabeel Kassis. The PA faced an estimated financing gap of about $500 million. Eight new ministers were added to the new 21-member cabinet, while two ministers were replaced.

Kassis also questioned the state-building agenda adopted by the PA under Fayyad’s leadership. On 13 April 2013, PM Fayyad resigned again. Abbas accepted his resignation but asked him to remain as interim prime minister of the Palestinian Authority until a new government could be formed.
