A senior source from Hamas has stated that the group will not participate in governing Gaza after the current ceasefire and post-war arrangements are finalized, marking a significant shift from its long-standing rule since 2007. While Hamas is stepping back from administrative control, it insists that disarmament is 'out of the question,' maintaining that its weapons will only be used in response to attacks on Gaza. The announcement comes as international leaders prepare for a high-level peace summit in Egypt, where a new plan for Gaza's future governance and security is set to be discussed. Humanitarian aid efforts are also being increased, with hundreds of trucks expected to deliver essential supplies daily under the new ceasefire terms.
