Hamas announced this week that it had dissolved the de facto government, saying it was ready to hand over power to a group of technocrats appointed by Donald Trump's Board of Peace. Israel dismissed the move as a stunt. But with the Israeli military continuing to bomb Gaza despite the ostensible ceasefire, while controlling more than 60 per cent of the territory, and with the technocratic committee still outside the enclave, who is really in charge?

In this edition, Nadia Massih speaks to Khaled Elgindy, senior fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. He argues that dissolving the Hamas government is a significant step in the ceasefire process and could pave the way for the technocratic committee to return to Gaza. But questions remain over whether the US is willing to implement its own plan for the enclave.
