The Muhammad Mustafa government is the nineteenth government of the State of Palestine. Muhammad Mustafa was officially assigned to form the new government on 14 March 2024 as a result of the resignation of the Muhammad Shtayyeh government on 26 February 2024, as Shtayyeh announced that his government had placed its resignation at the disposal of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas since 20 February 2024. On 26 February 2024, President Abbas accepted the government's resignation and appointed it to temporarily conduct government affairs until a new government could be formed.
On 14 March 2024, Muhammad Mustafa was assigned by President Abbas to form a "government of technocrats." On 28 March 2024, Mustafa presented his government to President Abbas, who approved the new government the same day. Muhammad Mustafa and his appointed ministers were sworn in on 31 March 2024.
