Cairo, Hamas has said it is prepared to dissolve its current government in the Gaza Strip, but has not given any clear timeline for when this would happen.
The group said the step would take place once a new Palestinian technocratic committee takes over the administration of Gaza. This committee is expected to include independent figures and professionals, rather than political leaders.
Hamas officials indicated that the transition would depend on how the broader ceasefire process moves forward. They did not announce a date for handing over power and did not provide details on who would be part of the new committee.
The announcement comes at a sensitive time, as Gaza remains under intense humanitarian pressure and the political future of the territory is being discussed by multiple regional and international stakeholders.
Hamas has ruled Gaza since 2007, running key services and institutions in the territory. Any shift in governance is expected to have major political and administrative impact, especially on issues such as security, reconstruction, aid distribution, and public services.
Observers say the lack of a timeline shows that many parts of the plan are still unclear. It also highlights how fragile the situation remains, even with ongoing efforts toward a ceasefire and long-term stability.
The issue of who will govern Gaza after the conflict has been a major question for months. Various proposals have been discussed, including temporary administrative bodies and international involvement, but a final roadmap has yet to be confirmed.
