In an exclusive interview with CGTN, Khaled Qaddoumi, Hamas' representative in Iran, revealed plans to establish a technocratic committee tasked with two critical objectives: reconstructing war-torn Gaza and laying the groundwork for future elections. The announcement comes amid heightened global scrutiny over the sustainability of recent ceasefire agreements and Gaza's political future.
Qaddoumi emphasized the committee's non-partisan nature, stating it would prioritize 'practical solutions over ideological divides' to address urgent infrastructure and humanitarian needs. While he did not specify timelines, the proposal signals Hamas' willingness to engage in post-conflict governance discussions – a shift analysts say reflects changing regional dynamics.
Key questions remain about long-term peace prospects and power-sharing arrangements. Observers suggest any sustainable governance model would need to balance Hamas' historical influence with emerging political factions and international reconstruction partners. The proposed committee's success may hinge on its ability to secure cross-factional support and transparent funding mechanisms.
