Tunisian Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali threatened Saturday to resign unless his Ennahda party and other parties accepted his proposals for an interim government of technocrats.
Jebali, who is in dispute with his party over his proposal for a new government, said he would present his new cabinet "by the middle of next week by the latest," the official TAP news agency reported.
If the team was accepted by parties represented in the country's constituent assembly without being put to a vote he would remain on as prime minister, Jebali said. Otherwise, he said, he would resign.
