Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem called it \u201ca positive step forward on the path to implement the ceasefire deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Israel dismissed the announcement as irrelevant. \u201cThe alleged resignation of the Hamas government, where all of the Hamas members stay in their positions, is a spin that has no significance,\u201d an Israeli official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.<\/p>\n<p>The committee of technocrats, which is based in Cairo, is chaired by Ali Shaath, a Gaza-born engineer and former official with the Palestinian Authority. It has a mandate to restore essential services and oversee civilian affairs under the supervision of the U.N. and Board of Peace.<\/p>\n<p>Nine months after the ceasefire was signed, negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain largely deadlocked over the implementation of its second phase, including the disarmament of Hamas and the reconstruction of Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas has insisted on implementing the first phase before moving to discuss its weapons.<\/p>\n<p>The Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas-led militants that sparked the war killed some 1,200 people in Israel and saw 251 others taken hostage. Israel\u2019s retaliatory offensive in Gaza has killed 73,098 Palestinians, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry, part of the Hamas-led government, is staffed by medical professionals and maintains detailed records viewed as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts. It does not distinguish between civilians and militants but says women and children make up around half of all fatalities.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli strikes have lessened considerably since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, but they continue almost daily. Israel\u2019s military says it targets Hamas and other militants, often asserting they were planning attacks.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Israeli strikes killed at least five people in Gaza, including three in Khan Younis in the south and two in an apartment in Gaza City, health officials said.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military said it targeted a Hamas operative in the Gaza City strike and a militant from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the attacks in Khan Younis.<\/p>\n<p>Militants have carried out shooting attacks against Israeli troops in Gaza, and five Israeli soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire. <em>_<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Associated Press writer Melanie Lidman in Jerusalem contributed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3281\">Russia\u2019s missile and drone attacks on Ukraine kill at least 20<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3283\">Philippine Senate opens the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3284\">Trump pardons former Abramoff partner, 9 people convicted of violating vehicle emissions controls<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip | The Hamas militant group said Monday it had dissolved its government in Gaza and is preparing to transfer power to a technical committee backed by the United Nations as part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal.
