Change in the names of the members of the "Gaza Committee"... and an imminent meeting of factions in Cairo

A well-informed Palestinian source from Ramallah revealed a change in the names of the members of the Gaza Strip management committee, which is about to be announced, during an anticipated meeting of Palestinian factions in Cairo within a day or two, noting that Palestinian Health Minister Majed Abu Ramadan is not currently being considered.

Sources, who declined to be named, said that "Cairo is arranging for a factional (Palestinian) meeting within a day or two," stressing that "there has been talk from Cairo with the Fatah movement, but in general, the movement does not participate in any factional meeting that is not based on the movement's pillars of commitment to the Palestine Liberation Organization and its obligations, international legitimacy, one law, one political system, one weapon, and the unity of institutions and geography."

Sources revealed that "there is a designation for an administrative committee for the Gaza Strip (during the upcoming meeting) by President Trump and partner countries, and there is currently no problem with the names," revealing that changes have occurred in the names and the Palestinian Health Minister is no longer being considered.

He explained that the technocratic administrative committee will most likely be formed of a chairman and members, and without a vice-chairman so far, and most of the names are "outside what was proposed and circulated."

Sources stressed that "the firm Palestinian position is that the committee's reference should be the legitimate Palestinian government, in a way that does not reinforce division and ensures the sovereignty of the State of Palestine, as the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the State of Palestine alongside the West Bank, including Jerusalem, considering it the most important guarantee for the success of the administrative committee's work."

Regarding the participation of the "Fatah" movement, sources explained that "Cairo is making efforts for representatives of the movement to attend, but it adheres to the aforementioned pillars for participation, and the developments that may occur in the coming hours are unknown."

Last Tuesday, Palestinian sources said that Cairo would host a Hamas delegation this week to push for a Gaza agreement. This was confirmed by other well-informed Palestinian sources, stating that "a Hamas delegation will arrive in Cairo on Sunday evening to discuss arrangements for the transition to the second phase."

Meanwhile, Hussam Badran, a member of the political bureau of the "Hamas" movement, said on Sunday afternoon that "the delegation has not yet arrived without specifying a date for the visit."

On Saturday, Bishara Bahbah, head of the "Arab Americans for Peace" committee and a mediator in Gaza, said that the information he received indicates that President Trump will announce the "Peace Council" overseeing an interim administration for the Strip on Tuesday, January 13, followed a day or two later by the formation of the Palestinian technocratic committee during meetings in Cairo.
