The United States is reportedly set to announce a committee of Palestinian technocrats, led by Ali Shaath, to manage daily affairs in Gaza. The announcement could come as early as Wednesday, coinciding with Palestinian faction talks in Egypt. The U.S. hopes this committee will weaken Hamas's control, which began in 2007, and focus on providing public services with independent Palestinian experts. However, details regarding the committee's composition, administration, and funding remain unclear. Analysts suggest the move aims to demonstrate progress in broader U.S. plans for Gaza, which have faced obstacles, particularly regarding Hamas's disarmament and securing international peacekeepers.
