An Israeli official dismissed the move as purely cosmetic.By World Israel News StaffThe Hamas-run government in the Gaza Strip announced Tuesday that it has resigned and will transfer administrative authority to a national committee tasked with managing the territory, a move presented as a step toward establishing a technocratic government.In a statement, the Hamas government said it had completed “all arrangements” to hand over the administration of Gaza to what it called the “National Committee for the Administration of Gaza,” also referred to as the technocrats’ committee.Despite the announcement, the move is not expected to significantly alter the balance of power in Gaza. Hamas is expected to retain effective control of the territory, with members of the terrorist organization continuing to occupy key positions during the transition period.The announcement came after mediators reportedly informed Hamas that, under understandings reached with former UN Middle East envoy Nikolay Mladenov, discussions over Hamas’ disarmament and the group’s accumulated financial obligations would be suspended for the time being.According to Palestinian sources cited by the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, a Hamas delegation is expected to return to Cairo later this week for direct talks with Mladenov aimed at formalizing the understandings reached so far.An Israeli official dismissed the move as purely cosmetic.“The supposed resignation of the Hamas government, in which all of its members remain in their positions, is a meaningless spin,” the official told Israel’s Kan News. “Hamas fears it will be declared in violation of the agreement, so it is stalling for time and engaging in public relations spin.”The reported transition comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to shape Gaza’s postwar governance, although it remains unclear whether the administrative changes will result in any meaningful shift in Hamas’ control over the enclave.The post Hamas government ‘resigns’ in purely cosmetic move appeared first on World Israel News.
