- Hamas dissolved its Gaza government, announcing that power would transfer to a UN-backed committee, per AP News.
- Israel warned that Hamas still seeks Hezbollah-style control in Gaza despite the dissolution announcement, per Fox News.
Why it matters: Hamas's dissolution hands Gaza governance to a UN-backed body, a structural shift in who administers the territory after more than a thousand days of war. Israel's public framing of the move as cosmetic signals diplomatic and security pushback rather than smooth acceptance of the transfer.
