Hamas has announced the dissolution of its governing body in Gaza, which it has controlled for nearly two decades. This action paves the way for a Palestinian technocratic committee to manage the enclave's day-to-day governance. The move, announced on Monday, is intended to facilitate an administrative transition and remove pretexts for Israel's ongoing military actions. Hamas stated its desire for the swift entry of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a body tasked with overseeing future administration under a US-backed plan. Hamas officials indicated this step demonstrates their seriousness in stepping aside from day-to-day governance, though the issue of their disarmament remains unresolved.
