The temporary administration that Hamas proposed handing over control to, known as the National Committee for the Management of Gaza (NCAG), has had no access from Israel since its creation in January under a ceasefire brokered by the United States, further casting doubt on future timelines for transferring authority.
Consensus
- Hamas announced the dissolution of its government in Gaza.
- The authority will be transferred to the National Committee for Governance of Gaza (NCAG).
- The NCAG is supported by the United Nations and operates under the oversight of the Council of Peace, a body established by Donald Trump.
- The transfer of power follows an agreement with Israel that entered into force in October of the previous year.
- Hamas has not committed to unilateral disarmament as demanded by Israel and the US.
- The NCAG is based in Cairo and led by Ali Shaat, an engineer from Gaza and former Palestinian Authority official.
