Hamas says it will dissolve Gaza government as US-brokered ceasefire plan stalls
- Hamas announced on Monday that it will dissolve its government in Gaza, a move that experts say puts pressure on Israel as progress from the US-brokered ceasefire plan has stalled.
- Ismail al-Thwabta, the head of the Hamas’ Government Media Office (GMO), said the militant group is ready to turn over governance to the Palestinian technocratic committee that’s meant to lead the enclave under the agreement.
- Hamas’ statement made no mention of disarmament, one of the key requirements under the second phase of the ceasefire deal, which the group has so far refused.
