Hamas Announces Resignation of Government Working Committee in Gaza

Hamas has announced the resignation of the Government Working Committee in the Gaza Strip.Hamas spokesman Hazim Qasim stated that this step was taken to eliminate any pretexts for the occupying Israeli forces and to serve national interests. Since Israel launched its attacks on Gaza, several national and consensus formulas have been proposed, Qasim noted, and these ultimately led to the establishment of the Gaza National Management Committee in Cairo, but Israel continues to hinder the committee's entry into Gaza.Qasim indicated that the Hamas decision came after all necessary technical and administrative steps for the transfer of management to the Gaza National Management Committee were completed, and expressed hope that the decision would pave the way for the National Committee's entry into the Gaza Strip.
