Hamas plans to dissolve Gaza government to make way for technocrat committee

Hamas is preparing to announce the dissolution of its administrative committee in Gaza, according to reports from the Arab news outlet Al-Quds Al-Arabi. The move would dismantle the “Committee for Monitoring Government Work,” a body that has effectively functioned as Gaza’s de facto government for nearly two decades.

The decision appears designed to clear the path for a new technocrat committee to assume administrative control of the Gaza Strip. However, the technocrat committee’s entry into governance is currently not possible, according to sources familiar with the discussions.

The announcement would mark a significant shift in Hamas’s administrative structure in Gaza, where the militant organisation has maintained control since 2007. The dissolution of the monitoring committee would represent a major restructuring of the governance apparatus that has overseen civilian administration and services in the territory.

Details remain sparse about the timeline for implementation and the specific arrangements that would govern the transition between the current system and the proposed technocrat administration. The move comes as pressure continues for changes to Gaza’s governance structures.
