Hamas dissolves Gaza governing body, says it will transfer power to technocratic committee
Developing
What we know
Hamas said Monday it had dissolved its government in Gaza and was preparing to transfer civilian administration to the U.S.-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) as part of the ceasefire track, AP and other outlets reported. Emergency-committee head Mohammed al-Farra submitted his resignation to facilitate the transition.
The Board of Peace said it would judge “actions, not promises” and stressed the technocratic committee must control security functions. Israel dismissed the announcement as symbolic while disarmament—the second-phase requirement—remained unresolved. NCAG stayed based in Cairo.
