Reports on Hamas's approval of Amjad Al-Shawa's appointment as head of the technocrat committee in Gaza.

The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has agreed to appoint Amjad Al-Shawa as the head of the technocrat committee in Gaza that will manage the sector the day after the war, according to Israeli Channel Kan.

Amjad Al-Shawa is the head of the Palestinian NGO Network in Gaza, while the occupation claims he is close to Hamas but is not a member of it.

Earlier, Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya stated that the movement has no reservations about any national figure residing in Gaza to manage the sector, indicating that it will hand over all administrative powers in the Gaza Strip to the management committee, including security.

The Palestinian factions agreed during their meeting in Cairo to hand over the Gaza Strip to a temporary Palestinian committee made up of independents 'technocrats', calling for an agreement on a strategy to activate the Palestine Liberation Organization as the legitimate and sole representative of the Palestinian people.

Media outlets reported that a leadership source in the factions stated that they concluded their meetings in Cairo to resume them in less than a month to discuss the future management of the Gaza Strip.

He added that Cairo presented the Palestinian factions with its vision for the day after the war on Gaza, and that what the factions understood from the Egyptian vision is that the management of Gaza would be through a committee of competencies whose members remained in Gaza during the war.

He clarified that the factions informed Egypt of their initial approval of the proposed names for the administrative committee to manage Gaza, without disclosing those names.

He reported that the factions 'heard confirmation from Egypt of its movement with Washington and Tel Aviv to pass its vision regarding the management of Gaza.'

For their part, the Palestinian factions stated in an earlier statement that, as part of the efforts of mediators to stop the war on Gaza and address its repercussions, a number of Palestinian factions met in Cairo for two days to discuss the second phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan.

The statement added that the meeting came as part of the preparation for holding a comprehensive national dialogue to protect the national project and restore national unity.

During the meeting, the factions agreed to support and continue implementing the ceasefire agreement procedures, and to take all necessary measures to maintain security and stability throughout the sector.

The statement mentioned that the factions also agreed to hand over the management of the Gaza Strip to a technocrat committee from the residents of the sector, which will provide basic services in cooperation with Arab countries and international institutions.

The statement pointed to the agreement to establish an international committee to oversee the financing and implementation of the reconstruction of the sector, while emphasizing the unity of the Palestinian political system and the independent national decision.

The factions confirmed the importance of issuing a UN resolution regarding the temporary international forces to be formed to monitor the ceasefire.
