Hamas said it was ready to dissolve its government in Gaza on Sunday in favor of a Palestinian technocratic committee, as established in President Trump’s peace deal. The terror group said it was instructing its government agencies that run day-to-day operations in Gaza to prepare for a transfer of power in response to the coming announcement from Trump to set up a Board of Peace that will lead the Palestinian enclave in the interim.

An Israeli-backed Palestinian militia said on Monday it had killed a senior Hamas police officer in the southern Gaza Strip, an incident which Hamas blamed on "Israeli collaborators."
