Hamas Dissolves Gaza Government: Who Rules Next?

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 14:36:00 +0530

A major shift is unfolding in Gaza after Hamas announced the temporary dissolution of its emergency governing committee, marking one of the most significant changes to the group`s civilian administration since it took control of the territory nearly two decades ago. The move paves the way for a proposed technocratic civilian administration under the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a body expected to oversee civilian governance during the next phase of the post-war transition. Hamas also confirmed the resignation of Emergency Committee chief Mohammed Al-Farra as part of the restructuring process. While the decision is being viewed as a significant political development, it does not resolve the biggest obstacle to a broader peace agreement. Israel continues to insist that Hamas` weapons must be placed under the authority of the NCAG or another agreed security framework before any long-term settlement can move forward. The governance transition comes as negotiations over the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire remain stalled. Hamas has emphasized Israel`s obligations under the ceasefire agreement, while Israel maintains that it will not accept a return of Hamas rule and has also rejected an immediate transfer of power to the Palestinian Authority.

Tamil Nadu`s political landscape has witnessed another significant development as senior AIADMK leader SS Vaigaichelvan officially joined Thalapathy Vijay`s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), delivering a fresh political setback to the AIADMK ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. In a strongly worded statement after joining TVK, Vaigaichelvan described AIADMK as the "right party under the wrong leader," launching one of the sharpest public critiques yet of AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS). While questioning the current leadership, he also praised the party`s ideological foundations, making it clear that his criticism was directed at the leadership rather than the party`s legacy.

Israel Plot to Kill Iran Negotiators? US Alarmed | WATCH

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:57:19 +0530

A new report has revealed that the United States was deeply concerned that Israel could target two of Iran`s most senior negotiators during indirect peace talks, raising fears that any such strike would derail diplomacy and trigger a fresh regional conflict. According to the report, US officials believed Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf could become potential Israeli targets while negotiations aimed at securing a ceasefire and broader understanding between Washington and Tehran were underway. The report claims Washington viewed both Iranian officials as legitimate military targets in a broader conflict but strongly opposed any action once diplomatic negotiations had begun. US officials reportedly feared that an assassination attempt at such a sensitive stage would collapse the talks and reignite hostilities across the region. As concerns mounted, the Trump administration is said to have urged Israel not to target Ghalibaf after learning he was allegedly included on a potential target list. Reports further suggest that both Araghchi and Ghalibaf were eventually removed from that list as diplomatic engagement gathered momentum. WATCH
