Hamas has announced the dissolution of the administrative body that governed Gaza for nearly two decades, paving the way for a new committee to oversee civilian affairs. Following the announcement, the so-called Board of Peace, controlled by U.S. President Donald Trump and his allies and lacking any Palestinian representation, issued a statement on social media platform X. The board said it had noted the dissolution of Gaza’s emergency committee but emphasized that its assessment would depend on concrete actions rather than promises to meet the urgent needs of Gaza’s population.

The statement drew criticism for highlighting the board’s perceived double standards. Despite repeated Israeli attacks that have violated the ceasefire agreement reached last October, the Board of Peace has offered little criticism of Israel while now demanding tangible steps from Hamas. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, since the ceasefire took effect, at least 1,072 people have been killed and 3,463 injured in Israeli strikes.

In the past 24 hours alone, five people were killed and seven injured in new attacks, with additional bodies recovered from the rubble, underscoring the ongoing humanitarian toll.
