Hamas is expected to announce the dissolution of its government in the Gaza Strip within days, a step meant to enable the Trump-established Gaza Board of Peace's governance committee to begin functioning, sources told Yedioth Ahronoth.

Hamas is expected to announce the dissolution of its government in the Gaza Strip within days, a move that would clear the way for the Gaza Board of Peace’s governance committee to take over administrative functions, according to sources who spoke to Yedioth Ahronoth.
The step is described by local sources as largely symbolic and declaratory, carrying no actual change in Hamas’s military or operational posture. It follows earlier reports that Hamas was considering handing administrative control to a technocratic committee, as The Zioneer reported Sunday.
The Gaza Board of Peace, established under the Trump administration, has been finalizing governance and reconstruction plans for the Strip while disarmament talks with Hamas remain stalled. The Board’s committee of Palestinian technocrats has been operating outside Gaza, attending workshops on governance, according to earlier reports.
It remains unclear whether Hamas’s expected announcement will be accepted by Israel or the Board as a sufficient step toward the group’s longer-term disarmament demands. Israeli assessments have suggested the Peace Council may determine within months that Hamas is violating the ceasefire agreement, a finding that could trigger renewed military operations.
