Hamas Dissolves Gaza Governing Body, Offers Power to UN-Backed Panel
- On Monday, July 6, 2026, Hamas announced the dissolution of its de facto governing body in the Gaza Strip to transfer administrative duties to the U.S.-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza .
- Hamas, which has ruled the Gaza Strip for nearly 20 years since 2007, initiated this move to fulfill commitments under the October 2025 U.S.-brokered ceasefire plan establishing technocratic administration.
- The 15-member NCAG, headed by Ali Shaath, remains based in Cairo and has not entered Gaza due to Israeli objections, though government ministries will continue operating under its authority.
- Despite the announcement, disarmament remains a primary requirement for the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, leading critics and Israeli officials to argue the move is superficial.
- The Trump-appointed Board of Peace noted the announcement but stated its assessment will be guided by "actions, not promises," amid ongoing negotiations in Cairo to resolve ceasefire disagreements.
