(Releads with Hamas saying dispute over) GAZA, June 2 (Reuters) - A last-minute hitch in the formation of a Palestinian unity government was resolved on Monday, a Hamas official said, and President Mahmoud Abbas prepared to swear in the new ministers. Hamas had an**unced that it would **t support the new administration because of a decision by Abbas to scrap the Ministry for Prisoner Affairs and replace it with a committee that would have fallen outside the control of the cabinet. But Hamas official Salah Al-Bardaweel said it was agreed that the ministry would be given to Prime Minister Rami Al-Hamdallah, "and the dispute between Hamas and Fatah has been resolved". Palestinians view the detainees as freedom fighters while Israel de**unces them as terrorists.
