Hamas, Egyptian officials discuss Gaza governing committee

Hamas officials says the group has opened talks with Egyptian mediators in Cairo on the formation of a technocratic committee to govern Gaza as part of the US-brokered truce plan for the Palestinian territory.

Under a 20-point program proposed by US President Donald Trump in October, Gaza would be administered by a transitional Palestinian committee operating under the supervision of a so-called “Board of Peace” to be chaired by Trump himself.

The Cairo meeting between a Hamas delegation and Egyptian mediators aims to address the formation of the committee, including its operational mechanisms, a senior Hamas official tells AFP on condition of anonymity.
