The Palestinian group Hamas has announced the dissolution of the body that has governed Gaza for nearly two decades, paving the way for a technocratic committee to implement civilian rule in the war-ravaged, besieged territory.

The move on Monday marks a significant political shift by Hamas, which has governed Gaza since its fighters seized control from rival Palestinian movement Fatah in 2007 after Hamas won legislative elections the previous year.

A Hamas official said the group wished for the swift entry of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a body which is tasked with overseeing the future administration of Gaza under a US-backed plan to end Israel’s genocidal war on the Palestinian territory.

    I don’t know but I’m feeling like right now the EU is going, “yeah, sure, that’s great, you do that” while divesting from the US in every imaginable way.

    At least I fucking hope that is how it is but then again money tends to supersede all principles and ideals so who fucking knows.

      As someone living in America, I really hope that the next administration puts these clowns on trial and we make the systemic changes necessary to rejoin the democratic world order. Living under this wannabe fascist sucks.
