Hamas and Fatah Agree to Form Independent Committee for Postwar Gaza Governance

The agreement, reached in Cairo, aims to end Hamas' 17-year rule and facilitate humanitarian aid, reconstruction, and administration in Gaza.

Hamas and Fatah have agreed to establish a committee of 10-15 politically independent technocrats to manage Gaza's postwar administration.
The committee will oversee humanitarian aid, reconstruction, education, health, and economic affairs, reporting to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
The agreement, brokered by Egypt, requires final approval from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Israel rejects any role for Hamas or Fatah in Gaza's governance, while the U.S. supports a revitalized Palestinian Authority as part of a broader two-state solution framework.
The deal comes as ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain stalled, with the war continuing to devastate Gaza and displace millions.
