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

Hamas and the rival Palestinian Authority, which governs the West Bank, have not announced the names of the technocrats, who are not supposed to be politically affiliated, and it remains unclear if they will be cleared by Israel and the US.

The Board of Peace, an international body supposedly to be led by Mr Trump, is tasked with overseeing the government and other aspects of the ceasefire that took effect on October 10, including disarming Hamas and deploying an international security force. The board’s members have not been announced.

Meanwhile, the post-ceasefire death toll continued to rise in Gaza, with Israeli gunfire killing three Palestinians, according to Palestinian hospital officials.

Elsewhere, tensions continue to rise in the region following Israel’s recognition of Somaliland — where analysts believe Benjamin Netanyahu’s government may be considering sending displaced Gazans to.

According to Middle East Eye, Somalia cut off relations with the United Arab Emirates today.

The news site reported on a document that had been provided to it from a source within Somalia’s government.

According to Middle East Eye, the document said that the east African country’s Council of Ministers has “terminated all existing agreements between the federal government of Somalia and the government of the United Arab Emirates, including bilateral security and defence cooperation agreements.

“This decision is in response to reports and strong evidence of serious steps being taken to undermine the sovereignty, national unity and political independence of the country.”
