Hamas dissolves Gaza government, presses for progress on stalled peace plan

AI Summary

Hamas has dissolved its Gaza government and expressed willingness to transfer authority to Palestinian technocrats, pushing for progress on a stalled US-backed peace plan with Israel. This move aims to facilitate a post-war Gaza administrative restructuring.

By Nidal al-Mughrabi CAIRO, July 6 (Reuters) - Hamas said on Monday it had dissolved its de facto government in Gaza and signalled it was ready to hand over to a group of Palestinian technocrats, as it presses Israel to honour other parts of a stalled U.S.-backed peace plan. The group's promise to end the body overseeing ministries — which has run for more than a decade — was a key part of the plan for a post-war Gaza set out by U.S. President Donald Trump after the start of a fragile ceasefire with Israel in October.
