Hamas Steps Closer to Handing Over Power in Gaza
Hamas has announced it will dissolve the institution that has effectively governed Gaza for nearly two decades, moving towards a technocrat commission overseen by Trump's "Peace Council."
The Palestinian militant group Hamas has announced the dissolution of the institution that has effectively governed the Gaza Strip since 2007. This decision is part of a process to transfer administrative control to a technocrat commission. The commission's work is to be supervised by the "Peace Council," established last year by US President Donald Trump.
The leader of the commission stated that it is ready to assume governance of Gaza. Hamas confirmed that the move is a step towards political change in the region. The exact timeline and structure of the technocrat government have not yet been disclosed. The decision signals a possible shift in power from the group that has long controlled the territory.
