The Palestinian group Hamas has announced the dissolution of the body that has governed Gaza for nearly two decades, paving the way for a technocratic committee to implement civilian rule in the war-ravaged, besieged territory.
The move on Monday marks a significant political shift by Hamas, which has governed Gaza since its fighters seized control from rival Palestinian movement Fatah in 2007 after Hamas won legislative elections the previous year.
A Hamas official said the group wished for the swift entry of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a body which is tasked with overseeing the future administration of Gaza under a US-backed plan to end Israel’s genocidal war on the Palestinian territory.
I don’t have my source for this now since I read it around mid 2005, but apparently one reason that Methanyahu / Israel has funded Hamas is because they make it harder for the Palestinian Authority to rule, and it gives Israel a bogeyman to seek to its citizens.
At this stage I have no idea what is up and what is down, but assuming that info was and still is accurate, it could change the dynamic somewhat for political discourse and how the West sells genocide to voters.
Yeah, sure, maybe? Probably
Not arguing with you.
I’m just really fucking tired of having this conversation
