On October 24th 2025, Hamas and Fatah reached an historic agreement to transfer control of Gaza over to a temporary technocratic committee for post-war governance and reconstruction purposes. At a meeting held in Cairo, this decision was reached, in order to facilitate post-war governance and reconstruction in Gaza. Composed of independent technocrats, this committee will oversee daily affairs as well as essential services supervised by Arab and international partners (Al Arabiya English).
Context and Motivation
This agreement follows on a ceasefire brokered by former U.S. President Donald Trump and supported by Egypt, Qatar and Turkey mediators; these guarantees provided “clear guarantees” to Hamas that war had effectively ended, leading factions within Gaza’s governance to collaborate towards creating a single approach towards its future governance.
Establishment of a technocratic committee is seen as an essential step toward stabilizing the region and meeting humanitarian needs of its residents, according to The Guardian.

Structure and Oversight
A technocratic committee will oversee Gaza’s daily operations and basic services, such as healthcare, education and infrastructure. It will operate under supervision by Arab and international institutions to ensure transparency and accountability of its activities; this arrangement aims to provide an efficient administration free from political factionalism in order to meet immediate population needs, according to Al Arabiya English.
Political Implications
While the creation of the technocratic committee represents an important step toward Palestinian unity, it also highlights ongoing obstacles. Hamas has agreed to relinquish administrative control but has not committed to disarming. Hamas views its military capabilities as essential to maintaining security and countering external threats, so their disarming remains contentious issue.
The international community, including the US, has demanded disarmament of militant groups in Gaza as an essential precondition to long-term peace and stability.

Future Prospects
The Technocratic Committee should be seen as a temporary measure, with plans for creating a comprehensive national strategy and revitalizing the Palestine Liberation Organization as the sole legitimate representative of Palestinian people. This initiative hopes to unify Palestinian politics and strengthen PLO negotiations going forward; its success hinges on whether all factions involved are willing to compromise and work towards one goal of peace and self-determination, according to The Guardian’s analysis.
Conclusion In conclusion, the agreement to give Gaza’s administration to a technocratic committee represents an historic turning point in Palestinian politics. While providing a pathway toward stability and reconstruction, this also illustrates the difficulty associated with creating lasting peace in an environment marred by years of violence and division.y.
