Abbas resigned as Prime Minister on 6 September 2003 because of a struggle for power with President Yasser Arafat and the stagnated implementation of the Road map for Peace.

After the discharge of the Government in September 2003, Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council Ahmed Qurei was asked to become Prime Minister of an emergency government, but Arafat, on 5 October, appointed Qurei PM of a small emergency cabinet before a government could be presented to Parliament.
