"We will not allow the rights of our people, for which we have struggled for decades and made great sacrifices to achieve, to be infringed upon."

"Trump is not serious about wanting to "own" Gaza."

"Donald Trump's plan for the US to "take over" and "own" Gaza, resettling its population in the process, is not going to happen."

"The plan is not about to be implemented."

"I have news for you - we aren't taking over Gaza."

"Trump could be all bluster, but it would be unwise to write off his words or quietly hope that they don't materialize."

"I am committed to US president Trump's plan for the creation of a different Gaza."

"I'm committed to buying and owning Gaza."

"We are not going to occupy Gaza - we are going to free Gaza from Hamas."

"Israel will not annex or occupy Gaza."

"Unless the United States changes its stance, I think ultimately, Israel will continue with this plan."

"I think Trump is going to let Netanyahu do whatever he wants."

"Israel will take control of Gaza."

"We are conquering Gaza to stay – there will be no more temporary manoeuvring. It's time to stop fearing the word occupation."

Will Israel Take Control of Gaza City?

Hamas announced Monday it had dissolved its Emergency Committee — the body overseeing governance in Gaza since 2007 — and that its chairman, Mohammed al-Farra, had submitted his resignation.

The U.S. President Donald Trump-appointed Board of Peace said it had "taken note" of Hamas' announcement but would evaluate the move based on "actions, not promises," stressing that all weapons in Gaza must be consolidated under the control of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.

The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, chaired by Ali Shaath, a Gaza-born engineer and former Palestinian Authority official, has remained based in Cairo since January and has been unable to enter Gaza, reportedly due to Israeli objections.

This comes as Israeli strikes killed at least five people in Gaza on Monday, including two in a Gaza City apartment and three in Khan Younis. The Israeli military said the strikes targeted a Hamas operative and a Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant.

This is a genuine step toward peace, as it removes a major obstacle to implementing a ceasefire and to getting humanitarian aid flowing into Gaza. The move hands civilian governance to a technocratic body and proves Hamas isn't clinging to power.

This is 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.

This is not a peace gesture. Any civilian government operating under Hamas' guns will simply do what Hamas demands. Hamas is shedding the burden of running Gaza, not its actual power.

Demanding unilateral disarmament while Israel controls most of Gaza and continues strikes isn't a peace framework — it's demanded surrender. Stripping weapons from an occupied people leaves them defenseless against a state armed with international weaponry.
