The Hamas terror group announced today that the head of its emergency committee has submitted his resignation. According to The Jerusalem Post, this marks the first step toward dissolving Hamas’s governing body in Gaza and transferring authority to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), also known as the Technocrats Committee. Hamas said that some of its personnel will remain in Gaza.
The Board of Peace addressed the dissolution of the Emergency Committee in a Monday afternoon X/Twitter statement, adding that its “assessment will be guided by actions, not promises, to meet the critical needs of the people of Gaza.”
“Decisions must be comprehensive with respect to the requirements as set out in the Roadmap for advancing governance, security, and transition in Gaza,” it said. “We look forward to the successful conclusion of discussions on this Roadmap, including on the implementation mechanisms necessary to enable the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza to assume full governing authority.”
“The core principle remains one authority, one law, and one weapon.”
“A genuine transfer of authority must enable the NCAG to exercise its mandate independently, including taking the administrative and governance decisions entrusted to it,” the Board of Peace concluded.
Talks involving Hamas and other Palestinian factions are scheduled to take place in Cairo this week. Gaza’s representative on the Board of Peace, Nickolay Mladenov, has arrived in Egypt, along with U.S. officials.
The proposed “Road to Complete the Implementation of President Trump’s Gaza Comprehensive Peace Plan,” which was presented in May, consists of 15 phases, including Hamas’s disarmament and an IDF withdrawal. The resignation of the emergency committee’s head marks the beginning of the plan’s first phase.
Meanwhile, the IDF announced that it has uncovered more than 150 weapons in southern Lebanon during recent counterterrorism operations. In the village of Hadatha, troops located more than 90 terror sites and eliminated 20 terrorists. Last week, the IDF also destroyed a 200-meter-long terror tunnel beneath Majdal Zoun.
The Fellowship and our supporters pray for the continued implementation of the Gaza peace plan and for the disarmament of all terror groups that threaten the Holy Land.
