Palestinian well-informed sources said Monday the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) would reshuffle its cabinet headed by Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei within the coming 24 hours.

The sources said the move would be announced soon and only six portfolios would be changed.

Local press said General Nasser Yousef is expected to take charge of the Interior Ministry, and the Palestine Liberation Organization representative at the United Nations Nasser al Qeddwa would replace Nabil Shaath as foreign minister.

Nabil Amer will be the minister of information and Mohammed Dahlan is expected to take the portfolio of PNA cabinet affairs, said the sources.
