Senior Hamas official says agreement reached with PA on formation of committee to manage Gaza
The Times of Israel ^ | November 5, 2025 | Nurit Yohanan & Nava Frieberg

A top Hamas leader said Tuesday that the terror group and the Palestinian Authority have come to an agreement regarding the establishment of a temporary committee that will manage the Gaza Strip on behalf of the PA.

The committee’s responsibilities will include overseeing the border crossings and the security forces in the Strip, Moussa Abu Marzouk told Al Jazeera, adding that it will be headed by a PA minister.

Abu Marzouk didn’t clarify during the interview whether this decision was approved by the US as well as the PA, meaning it was unclear whether there is any weight to the agreement.

In recent weeks, Hamas has refrained from publicly addressing the composition of the committee that will oversee Gaza’s civilian affairs, in line with the White House’s plan to end the war in Gaza.

According to Arabic media reports, one of the proposed candidates to head the committee is Palestinian Authority Health Minister Majed Abu Ramadan. However, there were reports that Israel has rejected his candidacy.

Abu Marzouk said that Israel was still refusing to allow UN forces to operate in areas currently under its control in the Strip, something he stated contradicts the draft proposal the United States submitted to the UN Security Council, which centers on the deployment of an international stabilization force in Gaza.

...In a separate report, however, the network said that Netanyahu outlined several red lines to the US in recent days, including absolute opposition to any Turkish presence in the Gaza Strip and to the Palestinian Authority or Hamas playing a governing role there “the day after” the war.

He is also said to have insisted that a full IDF withdrawal would only take place after Hamas is fully disarmed and the Strip demilitarized...

Remember, the current “leader” of the Palestinian Authority (PA) is Abbas. Abbas was Arafat’s bag man.

The only thing that Hamas, PA, Hezbollah and the United Nations agree upon is how to kill more Jews, how can we fool them today, and how to kill more Jews.

Israel shouldn’t have let Trump stop them from clearing Gaza. I know they probably needed us to supply them with weaponry, but it is obvious to anyone who has a brain that Hamas will never relinquish power & will attack again when they have a chance. Sometimes you have to be as ruthless as your enemy, & that is Israel’s only choice.

How is that relevant?

The agreement was that Hamas would not be part of the government of Gaza, and any agreement had to be between Egypt, Israel, Qatar, the USA and representatives of Gazans that have disavowed Hamas.

Hamas agreeing with the PA is the same as Hamas agreeing with itself.

The PA doesn’t matter and is irrelevant in the present mostly nonexistent form.

neither Hamas nor PLO terrorist gangs will have ANYTHING at all to do with ruling any Isareli territory, whether in gaza or soon in ramallah, ever again.
they can “agree” on any bullkrap they wanna
they’re irrelevent and soon will be dispatched to meet their maker in Jahannam (Moslem Hell)
