Hamas has announced the resignation of the Emergency Committee, the administration responsible for governing the Gaza Strip.
The decision comes ahead of a planned transfer of administrative authority to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).
According to the announcement, the move is intended to prepare for the next phase of governance.
Civil servants to continue providing public services
Hamas stated that government employees will continue performing their duties without interruption.
The group described civil servants as “public employees who are ready to work under the responsibility of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).”
According to the announcement, administrative services will continue while the transfer process moves forward.
Administrative preparations completed
Hamas also said it has completed all the necessary administrative procedures required for the transfer of authority.
The announcement indicates that preparations have been finalised to allow the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza to assume responsibility. However, no timeline for the full transfer was provided.
Move viewed as largely symbolic
The decision is widely viewed as a symbolic step rather than one expected to produce immediate administrative changes.
Current public services are expected to continue through the existing civil service structure during the transition period.
The announcement signals Hamas’ stated willingness to transfer administrative responsibilities to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.
Transfer linked to broader governance discussions
The announcement comes amid broader discussions regarding Gaza’s future administrative structure.
According to Hamas, the decision aligns with plans for transferring governance responsibilities to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.
While the announcement marks an administrative development, the practical impact of the decision remains uncertain until the transfer process is fully implemented.
