The United Nations has formally welcomed Hamas’s decision to dissolve its long-standing administrative committee that has governed the Gaza Strip for nearly two decades. The announcement was made after Hamas decided to dismantle the governing body responsible for managing Gaza’s internal affairs.

UN Secretary-General’s spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said in a statement that the organization welcomes any step contributing to the implementation of ceasefire agreements and advancing the objectives of relevant Security Council resolutions. He added that the UN continues to support efforts to establish a unified Palestinian governance structure under the Palestinian Authority.

According to the statement, the UN views the move as a positive development toward political unity and stability in the Palestinian territories, aligning with international efforts to sustain peace and reconstruction in Gaza.
