Hamas: gov in Gaza dissolved, preparing to transfer power

The Hamas militant group says it had dissolved its government in Gaza and is preparing to transfer power to a Palestinian technocratic committee backed by the United Nations as part of a US-brokered ceasefire deal.

Hamas described its decision as evidence of its commitment to Gaza's reconstruction after years of war.

The Board of Peace, the new entity led by President Donald Trump with the mandate of governing and rebuilding Gaza, says it will evaluate the impact based on "actions, not promises."

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar notes in a statement on social media that "As long as Hamas retains its weapons, any civilian government will of course operate as Hamas dictates."

However, Hamas has insisted on implementing the first phase before moving to discuss its weapons.
