Hani Talab al-Qawasmi is a Palestinian politician. He was born inGaza, although his family originated fromHebron in the modern-dayWest Bank and emigrated to Gaza in 1949. Al-Qawasmi received his BA degree in accounting fromCairo University and pursued his studies and got a high diploma in human resources from Cairo University. Al-Qawasmi worked at the religious al-Azhar Institute for 10 years. He worked with the establishment of thePalestinian National Authority in its Civil Affairs Ministry for 7 years.[1]
He currently works as general director of administrative affairs at the Interior Ministry, effectively theInterior Minister of the Palestinian National Authority, upon a decision from the Cabinet.
In May 2007, the coalition deal betweenHamas andFatah appeared to be weaker, as new fighting broke out between the two factions. This was considered a major setback.[2] Al-Qawasmi, who had been considered a moderate civil servant acceptable to both factions, resigned due to what he termed harmful behavior by both factions.[3]
Al-Qawasmi is currently married with five children.
