Hamas Agrees to Dissolve Gaza Government Pending Formation of U.S.-Backed Technocratic Committee
Hamas says it will dissolve its Gaza government once a U.S.-backed technocratic committee assumes control under the Trump-led Board of Peace; ceasefire remains fragile amid ongoing violence.
Overview
Hamas announced it will dissolve its Gaza government when a Palestinian technocratic leadership committee takes control, but gave no timeline or names for committee members.
The committee, meant to be politically independent, will be overseen by the Board of Peace led by President Trump; members and start date remain unclear.
Ceasefire began Oct. 10 but exchanges of fire continue; Israeli strikes and clashes have caused further Palestinian deaths and instability.
Board of Peace’s director-general is reported to be Nickolay Mladenov; international roles and troop contributions for stabilization are still unsettled.
Israeli internal politics and legal probes continue, while negotiations and regional diplomacy (Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, Japan) proceed amid concerns over Hamas disarmament.

FAQ
The U.S.-backed technocratic committee is a proposed Palestinian leadership body made up of non-partisan experts and administrators that would assume day-to-day governance of Gaza, replacing Hamas’s governing authority as part of Trump’s 20‑point Gaza peace plan and the broader “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict.”[1]
The Board of Peace is an international oversight body chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump that is tasked with supervising the Gaza ceasefire, the formation of the new technocratic governing structure, Hamas’s disarmament, and the deployment of an international security or stabilization force in Gaza.
No specific timeline has been announced; Hamas has said it will dissolve its Gaza government once the Palestinian technocratic leadership committee is formed and assumes control, but no start date or list of committee members has been made public.[1]
The ceasefire that began in early October is described as fragile, with ongoing exchanges of fire, Israeli strikes, and deadly clashes reported even after the truce took effect, prompting warnings that renewed large-scale fighting is still a serious risk.[1][2]
Yes. Trump’s 20‑point Gaza peace plan requires Hamas to decommission or relinquish its weapons as part of the second phase, but Hamas has so far refused to disarm even as it signals willingness to hand over civil administration, leading Israel to threaten forced disarmament if necessary.[2]
