The Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reports, citing two Hamas sources, that the terror group is preparing to dissolve its governing body in Gaza. The move would clear the way for the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, a technocratic body overseen by the US-backed Board of Peace, to take over. One Hamas source said the announcement is expected as early as Tuesday.
The Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported this morning, citing two Hamas sources, that the terror group is preparing to dissolve its governing body in Gaza. According to the report, the dissolution would enable the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza – a technocratic body overseen by the US-backed Board of Peace – to assume administrative control. One Hamas source indicated the announcement could come as early as Tuesday.
This follows a series of reports over the past 24 hours. At 01:13 Monday, The Zioneer reported that Hamas was considering transferring administrative control to a technocratic committee, citing Israeli media. At 08:08, sources told Yedioth Ahronoth that Hamas was expected to announce the dissolution of its government within days, describing the move as symbolic and declaratory. On Sunday evening, N12 reported that Hamas was expected to disband its emergency committees and appoint an interim manager.
The reports come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to establish a civilian administration in Gaza under the Board of Peace, a framework initiated by the Trump administration. The Board has been finalizing governance plans, though disarmament talks with Hamas have stalled, as The Zioneer reported on June 29. Israeli assessments have suggested the Peace Council may determine Hamas is in violation of the ceasefire within months, potentially allowing renewed Israeli military operations.
The current report from Asharq Al-Awsat adds a new layer of credibility, as it is the first to cite Hamas sources directly and to provide a specific timeline for the announcement. However, the details of the proposed dissolution remain unclear, and it is uncertain whether the move will be accepted by all factions within Hamas.
