The US will lift a 15-month embargo on aid to the Palestinians once a new emergency government excluding Hamas is sworn in, a US diplomat has said.
Hamas were boycotted by Western countries
US consul-general in Jerusalem Jacob Walles said there were no obstacles to re-engaging with the new government, which would have full US support.
Palestinian President and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas is expected to swear in a new prime minister on Sunday.
He sacked the Hamas-led government after clashes left more than 100 dead.
On Saturday, violence between the rival factions spread from Gaza to the West Bank, as Fatah gunmen stormed the Hamas-controlled Palestinian parliament building in Ramallah.
Mr Welles met President Abbas on Saturday and said afterwards that he expected announcements in Washington about "our assistance and about the financial regulations" early next week.
"There won't be any obstacles, economically and politically, in terms of re-engaging with this [emergency] government," he told Reuters news agency.
The quartet of Middle East peace mediators - the US, Russia, the United Nations and the European Union - has also said it backs the decision to dissolve the Hamas led-administration.
Western nations imposed sanctions on the Palestinians after Hamas, considered a terrorist organisation by the US and EU, won elections in January 2006.
Hamas has denounced the move to form an emergency administration as illegal.
Last week, it ousted Fatah from Gaza after a week of fierce fighting.
On Saturday, Fatah gunmen seized the parliament building in Ramallah in the West Bank.
Second deputy speaker Hassan Khuraishah, an independent, told the BBC he had been beaten up as he tried to prevent Fatah gunmen from raising their flag.
In a show of strength, Fatah supporters paraded around Ramallah, firing weapons into the air and chanting "Hamas out".
Almost all Hamas politicians and prominent supporters in Ramallah have either fled or gone into hiding.
Fatah supporters also took over the Hamas-controlled legislative council in Nablus.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Fatah supporters are reported to have been fleeing Hamas-controlled Gaza by land and sea.
