Overview
- Hamas said it formally dissolved the crisis administrative committee on Monday and offered to hand civilian governance to the National Committee for the Administration of the Gaza Strip, a 15‑member technocrats body set up by the US Peace Council.
- The group explicitly refused unconditional disarmament and said its armed structures and police authority in Hamas‑held areas would remain in place after the move.
- Israel rejected the announcement as a tactical gesture and has insisted that Hamas must be disarmed before it will accept the NCAG or allow its members into Gaza, keeping the committee largely in Cairo.
- International donors and aid agencies say they will not fund large‑scale reconstruction without clear demilitarization or security arrangements and have made disarmament a central precondition for formal engagement.
- Practical obstacles that leave the transfer stalled include Israeli entry restrictions, unclear policing arrangements, continued Israeli control of large parts of Gaza, and urgent humanitarian needs for civilians living amid widespread destruction.
