Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday asked to form the first ever Palestinian constitutional court, said the Palestinian state-run news agency WAFA.
According to the report, the court includes nine members, president of the court Mohamed al-Haj Qassem, his deputy Asa'ad Mubarak and seven others including two from the Gaza Strip.
Hassan al-Ourri, an aid to President Abbas for legal issues, told the agency that the court's main mission is to watch the constitutional laws, the regulations and other legal systems.
He went on saying that the court will also be responsible for the interpretation and explanation of the text of the basic law and other legislations.
The court will include professors in law, academics and experts in the constitutional laws as well as former lawyers.
The Palestinian National Authority, chaired by Abbas since January 2005, was formed after Israel and the Palestinians signed Oslo peace accords in 1993.
