A senior official told Channel 12's Barak Ravid that the emerging Gaza agreement will take time to implement, but will result in a technocrat government holding a monopoly on weapons in the Strip. The official said the agreement clarifies that Hamas is relinquishing all civilian and security involvement in governing Gaza.
The statement by the unnamed senior official, reported by Barak Ravid on Channel 12 at 02:27 Jerusalem, adds new detail to the evolving framework for post-war Gaza. The official stressed that the implementation process would be lengthy, but that the end state would see a technocrat government with a monopoly on armed force, and Hamas exiting civilian and security governance entirely. This follows a Thursday report by the same journalist detailing a six-to-eight month process for disarmament and Israeli withdrawal. Later Thursday, Hamas was reported to have agreed to all clauses of the Trump plan, which centers on the disarmament of terrorist groups and the demilitarization of Gaza. The new statement appears to echo the framework's terms, though it comes from an Israeli source. The identity of the senior official was not disclosed. The deal remains subject to final Israeli approval and verification mechanisms.
