The Hollowing of Hamas: Power Struggle in Gaza The recent announcement from Hamas officials to dissolve the governing body in Gaza and hand over power to a new technical administration marks a significant shift in the region's complex web of politics.
This move appears to be part of the peace deal brokered between Israel and Hamas last year, but it reveals a deeper power struggle beneath the surface.
Gaza has been under Hamas control since 2006, when the militant organization won regional elections amidst widespread international criticism.
