Hamas announced the dissolution of the emergency committee that has overseen civilian governance in Gaza, a step that could allow the U.S.-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza to assume civilian administrative responsibilities following the conflict. The move represents a potential structural shift in how Gaza's civilian affairs would be managed going forward.

Israeli officials have expressed scepticism about the announcement, warning that Hamas may seek to maintain influence over Gaza's governance despite formally dissolving its administrative body. Critics note that while Hamas has agreed to dissolve its governing structure, the organization continues to retain its military capabilities and infrastructure, raising questions about whether a genuinely independent civilian administration can operate in practice.
