Hamas dissolving its Government Emergency Committee is a genuine step toward peace, not a power grab. Palestinian factions across the board see this as removing a major obstacle to ceasefire implementation and getting humanitarian aid flowing into Gaza. The move hands civilian governance to a technocratic body and proves Hamas isn't clinging to power.
Hamas handing off garbage collection to a technocratic committee while keeping its weapons is the Hezbollah playbook, not a peace gesture. Any civilian government operating under Hamas's guns will simply do what Hamas demands. Full disarmament and complete demilitarization of Gaza are the only arrangements that actually protect Palestinians and advance the Trump peace plan.
