Nabil Abu Rudaina the spokesman of Abbas confirmed the news adding that Abbas would issue two presidential edicts in this regard and names of the council members will be revealed later.
According to Abu Rudaina the council will tackle and decide on all issues concerning security matters in the PA-run lands.
However the presidential spokesman expressed disappointment over the USA and Israeli stands to boycott the PA unity government and to maintain economic sanctions on the Palestinian people.
