Mohammad Ibrahim Shtayyeh (Arabic: محمد اشتية; born 17 January 1958)[1] is a Palestinian politician, academic, and economist who served as Prime Minister of the State of Palestine and the Palestinian National Authority from 2019 to 2024. On 26 February 2024, he and his government announced their resignation, remaining in office in a demissionary capacity until a new government was formed on 31 March 2024.

Elected to Fatah's Central Committee in the 2009 and 2016 elections, Shtayyeh is aligned with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.[2][3]

Shtayyeh was named a minister of Palestinian Economic Council for Development and Reconstruction (PECDAR), a $1.6 billion public investment fund, in 1996. He served as its director of administration and finance from 1994 to 1996.[4]

Shtayyeh was a member of the Palestinian advance team at the Madrid Conference in 1991 and a member of the Palestinian negotiation delegation on subsequent occasions.[5] He was elected minister of public works and housing for the Palestinian Authority in 2005 and 2008.[6]
