The Day Gaza's Leadership Transferred to Technocrats

Palestinian media on October 26 focused on the emerging agreement between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority to appoint Amjad Al-Shawa to lead a technocratic committee in Gaza. Early reports highlighted Hamas leader Haniyeh's statements indicating readiness to hand over full administrative control, including security, to a unified Palestinian government and acceptance of any national figure for Gaza's leadership. Throughout the day, discussions evolved, culminating in reports of an agreement for Al-Shawa's appointment. However, by late evening, Fatah denied having approved the chairmanship of the administrative committee in the Gaza Strip. Concurrently, news continued to cover Israeli aggressions in Gaza and the West Bank, alongside ongoing efforts to retrieve Israeli captives' bodies in Gaza.
