Cairo [Egypt]: Hamas has confirmed that it will not participate in governing the Gaza Strip in the upcoming phase, according to an informed source involved in the ongoing ceasefire negotiations.
The source, cited by Al-Qahera News on Saturday, stated that Hamas remains committed to the three-stage ceasefire agreement and will focus on ensuring its implementation.
Egypt’s Role in Gaza Reconstruction
Intensive Egyptian diplomatic efforts are currently underway to establish a temporary committee that will oversee the relief and reconstruction process in Gaza. The initiative, backed by Egypt and other regional stakeholders, aims to stabilize the region and facilitate post-war recovery.
Ceasefire and Political Transition
The ceasefire agreement, which is being negotiated in multiple stages, includes provisions for:
- Immediate humanitarian aid and relief operations.
- Formation of an interim governing body to manage Gaza’s administration.
- Long-term security arrangements to prevent further conflict.
Regional and International Response
Hamas’ decision to step back from governance comes amid increasing diplomatic pressure and mediation efforts by Egypt, Qatar, and the United Nations. Observers believe that this move could pave the way for a broader political transition and stabilization in Gaza.
The situation remains dynamic, with further negotiations expected in the coming days to determine who will govern Gaza and how reconstruction efforts will be managed.
