Hamas Seeks to Integrate 10,000 Security Members into New Gaza Governance

Hamas is seeking to integrate 10,000 of its security force members into the new governance of Gaza, through the National Committee for Governance (NCAG), in an effort to maintain its influence. The organization has called on its 40,000 employees and members to cooperate with the NCAG. Israel has categorically rejected any participation of Hamas in the governance. Significant differences remain regarding the disarmament of Hamas, with the Trump administration seeking the immediate surrender of weapons and offering amnesty to fighters. Hamas still possesses rockets and light weapons.
