Hamas said, Thursday, that it has accepted an Egyptian proposal to
form a joint Palestinian committee to run the Gaza Strip after the
ongoing Israeli war, Anadolu Agency reports.

In a statement, Hamas said it held in-depth talks with the Fatah group
in Cairo to form a committee to run Gaza through implementing
previously agreed frameworks to achieve Palestinian unity.

“Hamas conveyed its approval of an Egyptian proposal for forming a
community support committee that will function through inclusive
national mechanisms,” it added.

Hamas said its delegation in Cairo also held talks with the Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), another Palestinian
group, to discuss developments in Gaza and the West Bank.

Additional meetings were held with prominent Palestinian figures,
where updates on the discussions with Fatah and the Egyptian proposal
were shared, it added.

Since 2007, a geographic and political division has persisted between
Hamas and Fatah, with numerous regional and international mediations
and agreements failing to bridge the gap.

This ongoing rift has fragmented Palestinian governance, with Hamas
controlling Gaza and the Palestinian Authority, led by Fatah,
administering parts of the West Bank.

Israel launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip following an attack
by Hamas in October 2023, killing nearly 44,600 people, most of them
women and children, and injuring over 105,700.

The second year of the genocide in Gaza has drawn growing
international condemnation, with officials and institutions denouncing
the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to
destroy the population.

Last month, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest
warrants for Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and former
Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, for war crimes and crimes against
humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of
Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
