Palestinian Justice Minister Furaih Abu Madyan has resigned in order to follow up on corruption cases in the Palestinian Authority (PA), Kuwait’s official news agency KUNA reported Friday. 

Palestinian sources were quoted by the agency as saying that Abu Madyan submitted his resignation to Palestinian President Yasser Arafat four days ago. 

The sources added that the former justice minister was insisting on tracing the corruption files in the PA, while noting that the resignation would not be official until Arafat approved it – Alabawaba.com
