Hamas Dissolves Gaza Governing Body for Technocrats

Hamas took the politically significant step of dissolving its de facto government in Gaza, an entity that has run the coastal enclave for nearly two decades.

The militant group signaled its readiness to transfer power to a panel of Palestinian technocrats.

The decision is intended to advance a US-backed peace plan, though it remains unclear whether Hamas will meet Israel's key demand to disarm.

An Israeli official dismissed the announcement as 'spin' and 'stalling'.
