The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has clarified its political stance regarding the post-war future of the Gaza Strip. A senior Hamas official, speaking to an Arab news agency, announced that the organization does not intend to govern Gaza directly and is instead prepared to back a technocratic administrative arrangement for the territory.
🏛️ Future Governance and International Monitoring
✅ Agreement on Names
The Hamas official revealed that the organization has already agreed upon the names to be included in the proposed new administrative body for Gaza. This move comes amid ongoing international discussions about the governance model required for the enclave once the conflict subsides.
⛔ Israeli Obstruction
However, the official cautioned that the implementation of this proposed technocratic setup is facing obstruction from the Israeli side. This claim is significant as it highlights the difficulties in establishing a non-Hamas administration acceptable to the Palestinians while Israel maintains its goal of eliminating the group’s presence.
🌐 Limited Role for International Forces
Regarding the potential deployment of international forces in Gaza, the Hamas official stressed that the role of such troops must be strictly limited to supervising the ceasefire and should not extend to managing the internal administration of Gaza. This condition underscores Hamas’s desire to maintain a degree of control over sovereignty and internal affairs, even as it prepares to relinquish direct governmental power.
