Hamas announced the dissolution of its government in Gaza after nearly two decades in power and proposed transferring authority to an interim administration. According to multiple sources, this move signals a potential shift in governance amid ongoing conflict.

The group invited either a US-backed committee known as the National Committee for Administration of Gaza (NCAG) or a UN-backed technical committee to take over governance responsibilities. The NCAG has been blocked from entering Gaza by Israel since its creation in January 2024, while the UN-backed option was mentioned specifically by Los Angeles Times. Analysts view this announcement as largely symbolic, aimed at reviving stalled peace talks.

The dissolution comes amid continued violence. Israeli air attacks killed at least six Palestinians and wounded more than 20 in recent strikes, according to Al Jazeera. The Union of Fishermen’s Committees reported that three Palestinian fishermen were injured by Israeli drone fire off the coast of Gaza City. Since October 2023, ceasefire violations have resulted in at least 1,072 deaths and 3,463 injuries, as reported by Gaza's Ministry of Health.

In a related humanitarian effort, musicians in Gaza have reopened their bomb-shattered conservatory using tents. The facility once had well-equipped offices but now operates out of temporary structures due to extensive damage from the conflict.
