Hamas Dissolves Gaza Government, Transfers Civilian Control to Technocratic Committee
Hamas announced the dissolution of its governing body in Gaza after nearly two decades, paving the way for a technocratic National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) to assume civilian control. This move follows a US-brokered ceasefire in October 2025 and aims to facilitate Gaza's reconstruction. While Hamas will retain some administrative roles, it has not committed to disarming or transferring security to an international force. The Board of Peace, established by the US, emphasized assessing progress by actions, not promises. Israel dismissed the move as insufficient without Hamas's disarmament.
