Hamas has declared plans to dissolve its civilian governing body in the Gaza Strip after nearly two decades, transferring responsibilities to a proposed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.
The move signals a potential shift in how the enclave is managed, though details on the committee’s structure, leadership, and timeline remain unclear.
Despite the announcement, Israeli airstrikes continued across Gaza on Monday, with medical sources reporting at least six Palestinian deaths, including a couple killed when a missile struck their apartment building.
Analysts suggest Hamas’ decision may reflect a willingness to step back from direct governance, leaving open questions about whether the new body will gain legitimacy domestically or internationally.
The development is expected to play a central role in ongoing ceasefire negotiations and discussions about Gaza’s post-war administration.
Meanwhile, residents of Gaza continue to endure relentless bombardments, mass displacement, and worsening humanitarian conditions as the conflict drags on without resolution.
