Dropsite News reporting that in the May 25 draft agreement for a ceasefire and release of all hostages, Hamas proposed that they give up all governing power in Gaza and turn over governance to a new governing body made up of Palestinian citizens who would oversee reconstruction.
Apparently, when Witkoff (Trump's envoy) took the Hamas proposal back to Netanyahu's team, Israel stripped that provision out. They WANT to keep Hamas in power. What the actual fuck?? Hamas are scum who have brought nothing but misery to the Palestinians, but Netanyahu is, somehow, even scummier.
[quote]In its new ceasefire outline, Hamas reinserted language that Witkoff and Israel removed from the May 25 agreement that stated that Hamas would relinquish its governance of Gaza to an independent technical committee of Palestinians to administer all affairs in Gaza and to coordinate reconstruction. Hamas has consistently said it would give up power as part of a long term ceasefire deal. “An independent technocratic committee will immediately assume management of all affairs of the Gaza Strip upon the start of the agreement’s implementation, with full authority and responsibilities,” the proposal states.
