He said: "During the foreign tours with our Arab brothers, we talked about the need to accommodate the numbers of university graduates, and there were positive promise to follow up with executive decisions from the Arab countries."
On Wednesday 26 thousand graduates, distributed in 70 commissions sat written examination for jobs in the Ministry of Education directorates.
Haniyeh noted that the large number of applicants passing the examinations increased the rate of unemployment among the Palestinian graduates of universities in Gaza.
He pointed out that the government's doors are
always open to the public position for all graduates without
exception
