Senior Hamas official says agreement reached with PA on formation of committee to manage Gaza
2025-11-05
[IsraelTimes] Moussa Abu Marzouk dodges question on whether Hamas will disarm as required by Trump’s peace plan; Israeli officials said to fear restrictions on IDF in administration’s UN proposal for Gaza force

leader said Tuesday that the terror group and the Paleostinian Authority have come to an agreement regarding the establishment of a temporary committee that will manage the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Strip on behalf of the PA.

The committee’s responsibilities will include overseeing the border crossings and the security forces in the Strip, Moussa Abu Marzouk told Al Jazeera, adding that it will be headed by a PA minister.

Abu Marzouk didn’t clarify during the interview whether this decision was approved by the US as well as the PA, meaning it was unclear whether there is any weight to the agreement.
As in: "NO"
In recent weeks, Hamas has refrained from publicly addressing the composition of the committee that will oversee Gaza’s civilian affairs, in line with the White House’s plan to end the war in Gaza.

According to Arabic media reports, one of the proposed candidates to head the committee is Paleostinian Authority Health Minister Majed Abu Ramadan. However,

there were reports that Israel has rejected his candidacy.

Abu Marzouk said that Israel was still refusing to allow UN forces to operate in areas currently under its control in the Strip, something he stated contradicts the draft proposal the United States submitted to the UN Security Council, which centers on the deployment of an international stabilization force in Gaza.

He clarified that disagreements remain over the operational details of the international force — such as where it would operate and what its mandate would be — and said that "a long discussion is still required on this matter."

’s broad Gaza peace plan, Abu Marzouk said that "Hamas is the force that controls the ground [in Gaza]. If it is disarmed, there will be other weapons and other groups. Just as in Iraq, when the Iraqi army was disbanded, chaos followed — al-Qaeda and ISIS emerged."

He added that such a move "would not contribute to stability or to the implementation of agreements (such as the ceasefire)."

"There is no vacuum — any replacement force must be Paleostinian and agreed upon by Paleostinians, so there will be no rejection or internal conflict."
