Hamas dissolves its government in Gaza to transfer power to UN-backed committee
Hamas has announced the dissolution of its government in Gaza to facilitate a transition to a UN-backed technocratic committee as part of a US-brokered ceasefire. While Hamas claims this is a step toward reconstruction, Israel has dismissed the move as a superficial change that leaves Hamas members in power.
Why it matters
This development represents a potential shift in the governance of Gaza, though its impact on the ongoing conflict and humanitarian situation remains highly uncertain.
The Hamas militant group said on Monday (July 6, 2026) it had dissolved its government in Gaza and is preparing to transfer power to a technical committee backed by the United Nations as part of a US-brokered ceasefire deal.
The report balances the claims of Hamas with the skepticism of Israeli officials and the oversight role of the US-led Board of Peace.
