They said that they would disband the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip and hand it over to what we call the technical committee that was set up
in October as part of Donald Trump's 20-point plan.
However, Israel rejected this move, saying it was basically spin by Hamas and that nothing can really move in Gaza as long as Hamas does not disarm.
The Hamas announcement was only for civilian affairs, basically handing over all the problems of Gaza.
infrastructure, sanitation, education, schools, etc., to the technical committee, which is sitting in Cairo at the moment and has not been allowed by Israel to enter the Gaza Strip.
Israel says the first and critical step must be
Hamas disarming and there's still no indication that Hamas is willing to do this.
I don't think it's a risk because the civilian affairs in Gaza are an absolute mess and
More than one and a half million Palestinians were displaced in this savage war.
They are still living in tent camps across the enclave.
Israel has increased its control over Gaza from just over 50% when the ceasefire was announced to
more than 65% now.
Some reports even say closer to 70%.
So I think by handing over control for civilian affairs to another body would be quite suitable for Hamas rulers in Gaza.
However, none of the civil servants, the teachers, et cetera, in Gaza will lose their jobs.
They will remain in place.
And as I said before, the key element
disarming Hamas.
So far, no progress on that.
And without Hamas disarming, it's very difficult to imagine donor countries coming up with the millions of dollars, billions of dollars needed for massive rehabilitation in Gaza or other countries contributing, for instance, to the international stabilization force.
