Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas signed off in October on Trump's plan, which says the Palestinian technocratic body will be overseen by an international so-called "Board of Peace" that is meant to supervise Gaza's governance for a transitional period.

Hamas said Sunday it will dissolve its existing government in Gaza once a Palestinian technocratic leadership committee takes over the territory, as mandated under the U.S.-brokered peace plan. But the group gave no specifics on when the change will occur.

A protest that took place outside a Queens synagogue Thursday evening is sparking outrage. The group Palestinian Assembly for Liberation organized a rally outside Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills yeshiva in protest of an event promoting real estate investments in Jerusalem.

The United States said on Wednesday it is launching the second phase of its plan to end the Gaza war, even as key elements of the first phase - including a complete ceasefire between Israel and Hamas - remain unfulfilled.

The ceasefire in Gaza is on shaky ground as Donald Trump looks to progress his peace plan on to its second phase.

Hamas has confirmed that its longtime spokesman was killed following an Israeli strike in August in war-torn Gaza.

Hamas is expected to elect a new leader this month, two sources in the group told Reuters, filling the role left vacant since Israel killed Yahya Sinwar in 2024 despite concerns that a successor could suffer the same fate.

Hamas said it was ready to dissolve its government in Gaza on Sunday in favor of a Palestinian technocratic committee, as established in President Trump’s peace deal.

Officials said the body’s leadership could be announced as soon as Wednesday, but U.S. efforts to shape postwar Gaza by disarming Hamas have faced hurdles.
