Hamas Rejects Foreign Interference in Gaza’s Future Administration
Gaza, 4 March – (PIC): The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has stated that it will not be part of any administrative setup for Gaza’s future but insists that Gaza’s governance should be decided with national Palestinian consensus and remain under Palestinian control.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem told Anadolu Agency:
“Our stance is clear. After the aggression on Gaza ends, any future administration should be decided through national consensus. We will facilitate this process.”
He further clarified:
“Hamas is not interested in being part of these arrangements. We do not want to participate in governance. However, we will not accept any foreign power interfering in Gaza’s administration.”
Qassem emphasized the importance of internal Palestinian agreement and strongly stated that Hamas will not allow any foreign intervention in Gaza’s future.
Hamas Calls for Serious Reconstruction Efforts in Gaza, Rejects Foreign Interference
Hamas has emphasized that any new administration in Gaza should be capable of starting a serious and genuine reconstruction process to save the people of Gaza from the destruction caused by the war.
A Hamas spokesperson stated:
“We will not stand in the way of any administration that is formed with national consensus. The new administration must be able to begin rebuilding Gaza after the destruction caused by Israeli aggression.”
He further stressed that Palestinians have the ability to find a unified approach with Arab support to address this situation.
Hamas’s insistence on consensus-based governance for Gaza comes as an emergency Arab summit is currently taking place in Cairo.
In February, after a proposed ceasefire, Hamas showed flexibility in discussing a political and administrative framework for Gaza. The discussions included forming a national unity government and establishing a community support committee for Gaza’s reconstruction.
Between October 7, 2023, and January 19, 2025, Israel, with U.S. support, committed genocide in Gaza. More than 160,000 Palestinians were killed or injured, including a large number of women and children, while over 14,000 remain missing.
