Hamas officials kicked off discussions in Cairo this week for forming a technocratic committee to run Gaza during a transitional period, part of a US-brokered ceasefire plan unveiled by US President Donald Trump last October. 🇪🇬🤝
Think of it like assembling a dream team to reboot a server—this committee is meant to tackle Gaza’s most pressing issues with an expert-driven game plan. 💡🔧
The main agenda? Figuring out who does what and how. The discussions are focused on:
- Committee structure and leadership
- Mandate and operating mechanisms
- Oversight by an international “Board of Peace”
Parallel talks behind the scenes will bring together other Palestinian factions—think Fatah and more—to hash out political developments, alleged violations, and the nitty-gritty of who heads up the committee. 🤫
Key issues on the table also include:
- Withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza
- Reopening the Rafah border crossing
- Letting in much-needed aid held on Egypt’s side
- Prepping for the second phase of the ceasefire
Hamas says it doesn’t want a formal role in day-to-day governance but will keep an eye on things to back reconstruction and stability. 🛠️🌱
Egypt is also playing mediator to bridge gaps between Hamas and Fatah. The goal? A broad Palestinian consensus before moving ahead. Once everyone’s on board, President Mahmoud Abbas would issue a decree to make the committee official.
Names in the mix for leadership include former PA official Ali Shaath and Health Minister Majed Abu Ramadan, sources say.
For young pros following global affairs, this could be a major step—tech-based admin, international oversight, and a push for unity. Stay tuned as this story unfolds! 🌍📰
