[REGNUM.RU] The Palestinian Hamas movement announced the dissolution of the government it controls in the Gaza Strip and the transfer of control to a special technical committee supported by the UN. This was announced in a written statement by the enclave's authorities on July 6, according to the Associated Press (AP).
The document clarified that the head of the government's emergency committee, Mohammed al-Farra, resigned and dissolved the committee. Ismail al-Tawabta, director general of the Hamas-run government media office, explained that "only technical and operational staff" would remain in their positions to manage the Gaza Strip's day-to-day affairs.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem called the decision "a positive step forward towards implementing the ceasefire agreement."
In September 2025, the White House published US President Donald Trump's plan to end the conflict in the Gaza Strip. The 20-point document stipulated that Israel would withdraw its forces from Palestinian territories and cease military operations, and that Hamas would release hostages. Hamas and other groups would also renounce any direct or indirect involvement in governing Gaza. A technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee would be appointed to administer the interim administration, overseen by an international body chaired by the US president.
In November 2025, the UN Security Council approved a resolution supporting the US plan to resolve the situation in the region. Russia and China, however, abstained from voting. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the US-backed UN Security Council resolution contradicted international decisions providing for the establishment of the State of Palestine. Russia developed an alternative resolution aimed at returning to international legal principles. However, Russia's alternative resolution, aimed at resolving differences and returning to international legal principles, was ignored.
On January 15, 2026, Trump announced the formation of the Gaza Peace Council. He called the council "the most prestigious" ever assembled.
