DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) \u2014 The Hamas militant group said Monday it had dissolved its government in Gaza and is preparing to transfer power to a technical committee backed by the United Nations as part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal.<\/p>\n

Hamas did not say whether it planned to take the crucial step of disarming or handing over security to an international force, but described its decision as evidence of its commitment to Gaza\u2019s reconstruction after years of war.<\/p>\n

It was unclear if the move, announced by a lower-level official, would lead to any meaningful change on the ground.<\/p>\n

The Board of Peace, the new entity led by President Donald Trump with the mandate of governing and rebuilding Gaza, said it was aware of the Hamas announcement but said it would assess the impact based on \u201cactions, not promises.\u201d The board stressed in a statement on X that the technocratic committee must control all weapons in Gaza, as laid out in the ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n

At a news conference Monday, Ismail al-Thawabta, general director of the Hamas-run Government Media Office, said \u201conly technical and professional staff\u201d would remain in their positions to run the Palestinian enclave\u2019s day-to-day affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll employees working in service provision are \u2018state employees\u2019 and are fully prepared to work under the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza,\u201d al-Thawabta said during a news conference in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem called it \u201ca positive step forward on the path to implement the ceasefire deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Israel dismissed the announcement as irrelevant. \u201cThe alleged resignation of the Hamas government, where all of the Hamas members stay in their positions, is a spin that has no significance,\u201d an Israeli official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.<\/p>\n

The committee of technocrats, which is based in Cairo, is chaired by Ali Shaath, a Gaza-born engineer and former official with the Palestinian Authority. It has a mandate to restore essential services and oversee civilian affairs under the supervision of the U.N. and Board of Peace. <\/p>\n

In a statement on X, Shaath acknowledged the Hamas announcement Monday and said that in order for the committee to function effectively, there must be \u201ca single governing authority operating under one legal framework\u201d and \u201ca unified security apparatus accountable to that authority.\u201d <\/p>\n

Nine months after the ceasefire was signed, negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain largely deadlocked over the implementation of its second phase, including the disarmament of Hamas and the reconstruction of Gaza.<\/p>\n

Hamas has insisted on implementing the first phase before moving to discuss its weapons.<\/p>\n

The Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas-led militants that sparked the war killed some 1,200 people in Israel and saw 251 others taken hostage. Israel\u2019s retaliatory offensive in Gaza has killed 73,098 Palestinians, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry.<\/p>\n

The ministry, part of the Hamas-led government, is staffed by medical professionals and maintains detailed records viewed as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts. It does not distinguish between civilians and militants but says women and children make up around half of all fatalities.<\/p>\n

Israeli strikes have lessened considerably since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, but they continue almost daily. Israel\u2019s military says it targets Hamas and other militants, often asserting they were planning attacks.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Israeli strikes killed at least five people in Gaza, including three in Khan Younis in the south and two in an apartment in Gaza City, health officials said.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military said it targeted a Hamas operative in the Gaza City strike and a militant from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the attacks in Khan Younis.<\/p>\n

Militants have carried out shooting attacks against Israeli troops in Gaza, and five Israeli soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire. ___<\/p>\n
