Hamas dissolves its government in Gaza with power set to transfer to UN-backed committee
- Hamas announced on Monday the dissolution of its government in Gaza and is preparing to transfer power to a United Nations-backed technical committee as part of a US-brokered ceasefire deal.
- The militant group did not, however, indicate any plans to disarm or hand over security to an international force, despite describing its decision as evidence of its commitment to Gaza’s reconstruction after years of war.
- It remains unclear if the move, announced by a lower-level official, would lead to any meaningful change on the ground.
