Hamas will dissolve its own authority in Gaza to make way for a new governing panel established by the Board of Peace, according to multiple reports.

Anonymous officials from the Gaza-based terrorist group announced the dissolution to AFP on Monday after preliminary reports swirled late Sunday evening. The officials confirmed that the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, created by President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, would fill the power vacuum in the Gaza Strip.
