Are Egypt and Qatar working to ensure Hamas’s continued rule over the Gaza Strip by allowing the terror group to choose members of a new technocratic government?
Hamas has submitted a list of more than 40 “independent national figures” as potential candidates for forming a technocratic body to administer the Gaza Strip. Mohammed Nazzal, a senior Hamas official, told Qatar’s Al-Jazeera TV network that the proposed technocratic government is intended to “enhance humanitarian governance and management in the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the war,” which erupted on October 7, 2023 when the terror group and thousands of ordinary Palestinians invaded Israel, murdered more than 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals, wounded thousands more, and kidnapped 251 people.
