According to London's "Middle East" newspaper, Sunday evening, Hamas's leadership is about to announce the dissolution of the "Government Action Follow-up Committee," which, after almost two decades of full management of its affairs, is its de facto government in the sector. According to the paper, the solution step comes within the framework of an initiative to open the way to the "Gaza Management Committee" or the so-called "Technukrat Committ…

Hamas Reportedly Preparing to Dissolve Its Gaza Government in Major Shakeup
Hamas is reportedly preparing to dismantle the governing body that has effectively run the Gaza Strip for nearly 20 years, according to officials within the terrorist organization who spoke with Asharq Al-Awsat. The move is said to be part of a broader effort to replace Hamas’ governing structure with a civilian administrative body. According to the report, Hamas plans to dissolve its Committee for Monitoring Government Activity, the organization that has functioned as Gaza’s de facto government since Hamas seized control of the territory. In its place, the group intends to hand responsibility to the Gaza Strip Administration Committee, headed by Ali Shaat, which is expected to consist of professional civilian technocrats rather than Hamas officials. The new administrative committee was established approximately six months ago. However, Israeli authorities reportedly blocked its members from entering Gaza, preventing the body from beginning its operations. A Hamas official told Asharq Al-Awsat that an announcement formally dissolving the Committee for Monitoring Government Activity could be made as early as Monday. The report also said that representatives of various Palestinian factions are expected to meet again in Cairo in the coming days as negotiations continue over implementing the second phase of the ceasefire agreement. The discussions may also include senior members of the Peace Council as well as representatives of the Trump administration. During recent negotiations held in Turkey with representatives from Qatar and Egypt, Hamas reportedly demanded that any disarmament process take place gradually, with its weapons ultimately transferred to a Palestinian governing body rather than surrendered outright. The terrorist organization also insisted that Israel commit to a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip as part of any broader agreement. {Matzav.com}
