Hamas dissolves its government in Gaza: uncertainty over Trump's technocratic committee

Hamas dissolves its government in Gaza: power passes to Trump's technocratic committee

The organization Hamas has announced the dissolution of its government in the Gaza Strip, as reported by the EFE news agency on July 6, 2026. The movement is ceding control of the enclave to facilitate the entry of the Gaza Administration Committee, a technical body promoted by US President Donald Trump as part of the peace agreements with Israel. The committee has not yet received authorization to establish itself in the area.

The decision, described as historic, opens an uncertain scenario. While Trump's circle presents it as a step toward technocratic governance, reactions in political analysis betray deep skepticism. The main question is whether Israel will actually allow the committee to be deployed, given the Mossad's track record of operations against Hamas leaders. As the commentary points out, the announcement offers no guarantee of safety for the new administrators.

Gaza's economic context remains devastating. Hamas's withdrawal could facilitate the entry of international aid and reconstruction, but the viability of the plan depends on Israel's willingness to accept an external administration. Supporters of the initiative stress that this is the first time Hamas has ceded political power; critics see it as a merely cosmetic change, not a substantive one.

For now, the Gaza Administration Committee is not operating on the ground. The question that remains is whether this move is the beginning of the end of Hamas's control, or a tactical maneuver in a war that is not over.
