Gaza technocratic committee changes logo to same one used by Palestinian Authority

The Palestinian technocratic committee tasked with managing the daily affairs of postwar Gaza in place of Hamas has replaced its logo with the one used by the Palestinian Authority.

The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) came out with its own unique logo, featuring a bird in the colors of the Palestinian flag, when it was established last month.

But earlier today, the NCAG updated its social media accounts with a new logo that appears to be identical to the one of the Palestinian Authority, which features a golden eagle looking to its right with a Palestinian flag on its chest.

The only difference between the new NCAG logo and that of the PA is that the shield below the eagle has the NCAG acronym, rather than the word Palestine.

The logo change appears to be a modest attempt by the technocratic committee to attach itself to the PA, despite Israeli efforts to separate the two bodies completely.

The Palestinian Authority governs day-to-day affairs in parts of the West Bank.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vehemently opposed the PA having a role in governing postwar Gaza, but he did concede last week that PA representatives will be part of the operational mechanism at the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt.
