Hamas prepared to dissolve Gaza government if cease-fire deal sticks
2026-01-12
[NYPOST] Hamas said it was ready to dissolve its government in Gaza on Sunday in favor of a Palestinian technocratic committee, as established in President Trump's peace deal.
Oh? How about laying down your weapons and going into exile as promised? And what about the last hostage body you haven’t yet bothered to turn over to Israel?
The terror group said it was instructing its government agencies that run day-to-day operations in Gaza to prepare for a transfer of power in response to the coming announcement from Trump to set up a Board of Peace that will lead the Palestinian enclave in the interim.

''Based on US President Trump's statement of his intention to form a Board of Peace for the Gaza Strip, the Hamas movement has issued directives to all government entities and agencies to prepare to hand over all authorities to this independent Palestinian technocratic committee,'' Hamas spokesman Hazem Kassem said in a statement.

While Hamas has agreed to cede power, it has repeatedly stated that it will not give up its arms until Israel agrees to a pathway for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
