Assessment
Hamas has announced the resignation of its government in Gaza and the transfer of administrative control to a national committee, ostensibly to pave the way for a technocratic government.

This appears to be a cosmetic restructuring rather than a genuine relinquishment of power, likely aimed at international or diplomatic optics while maintaining de facto control.
