Hamas Dissolves Gaza Government as Part of US-Brokered Peace Deal
The Hamas militant group announced on July 6, 2026, that it has dissolved its governing body in the Gaza Strip. The move is intended to facilitate the transfer of administrative control to a UN-backed technical committee as part of the ongoing first phase of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement involving President Donald Trump's administration. While Hamas spokespeople described the decision as evidence of commitment to reconstruction, Israeli officials remain skeptical regarding the required disarmament of militant wings.
