Hamas announces dissolution of Gaza governing committee to transfer power to NCAG
Hamas announced on July 6, 2026 that it dissolved its Government Emergency Committee and is prepared to transfer civilian governance to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a U.S.-backed technocratic body based in Cairo. The announcement made no commitment to disarm, which remains a central Israeli demand under the ceasefire agreement signed in October 2025. The Board of Peace said it would assess the move based on 'actions, not promises.'
