Overview
- The Palestinian Authority denied any agreement with Hamas to appoint Amjad Al‑Shawa and said any Gaza management body must be led by a sitting government minister.
- Hamas continues to advance a temporary technocrats' committee under a factional umbrella, diverging from the PA’s insistence on unified government authority.
- A US proposal to deploy an international force in Gaza remains central yet unresolved, with leadership, mandate and Security Council approval still outstanding, according to published analyses and officials cited.
- Israel has elevated destruction of Hamas’s tunnel network as a top priority, with Defense Minister Israel Katz estimating 60 percent of tunnels remain and reports citing use of explosive robots, multilayer sensors and AI‑based tools.
- Analysts and reporting describe emerging non‑Hamas armed groups across Gaza that could fuel intra‑Palestinian clashes and hinder reconstruction, as Palestinian leaders promote a new constitutional declaration to rebuild institutional legitimacy.
