Gaza Government Dissolves Governing Body To Facilitate Transfer Of Administration

ISTANBUL, July 6 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Gaza's government announced Monday the dissolution of its Emergency Committee and the resignation of its acting chairman as part of preparations to transfer the administration of the enclave to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.

In a statement, the Gaza Government Media Office said it had completed the administrative and legal arrangements necessary for the handover of the governmental system in Gaza.

It said the preparations had been presented to a national team representing Palestinian factions and political forces, the Higher Committee of Clans and Tribes, and civil society organisations, in the presence of a UN observer.

According to the statement, the acting head of the Government Follow-up Committee and chairman of the Emergency Committee, Mohammed Abdul Khaleq al-Farra, submitted his resignation, while the Emergency Committee was formally dissolved to facilitate the administrative transition.

NCAG describes itself as a non-political body responsible for managing the territory's day-to-day civil affairs. Composed of Palestinian national figures, it has operated from Cairo since mid-January but has not yet begun carrying out its duties from inside the Gaza Strip.
