GAZA, March 15 (Reuters) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah and Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas agreed on Wednesday to appoint an as yet unnamed person as interior minister, the cabinet spokesman said.

The agreement on the interior post, which oversees the security services, removed a key obstacle to forming a unity government. The new cabinet is expected to be unveiled on Thursday and approved by the Palestinian parliament on Saturday.
