Hamas dissolves Gaza government, hands authority to technocratic committee

The Hamas movement announced on Monday that it has dissolved the Gaza Government Emergency Committee that has run the enclave since 2007. Hamas said its head of the emergency committee, Mohamed al‑Farra, submitted his resignation and that the administration will be transferred to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a technocratic body of Palestinian professionals created under the U.S.‑backed cease‑fire framework brokered by former President Donald Trump. Hamas media office director Ismail al‑Thawabta said only “technical and professional staff” will remain in their posts to guarantee continuity of services. The group portrayed the step as a concrete move toward easing the humanitarian crisis and fulfilling its “national obligation.”

Israel rejected the announcement as merely cosmetic, noting that Hamas retains its weapons and security apparatus. Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saar called the move a “trick,” insisting that any civilian administration can operate only under complete disarmament, a demand Hamas has not made. Israel has also blocked NCAG members from entering Gaza. The U.S.‑led Board of Peace said it has taken note of the announcement and will evaluate its impact based on actions, not promises. The dissolution is therefore seen as a symbolic political shift that could pave the way for a U.S.‑backed civilian administration, but its practical effect depends on unresolved disarmament and Israeli security concerns.
