Gaza: Hamas has demanded the inclusion of 10,000 of its personnel in the newly formed Palestinian administration. The organization has begun integrating its staff and security forces into administrative structures. Following US-mediated negotiations, Hamas already controls half of Gaza, and while the new administration will not involve direct governance by Hamas, the group aims to maintain influence through its employees. Analysts say this move reflects the complex balance of power between Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, and external actors like the US and Israel. Experts suggest that incorporating Hamas personnel ensures both operational continuity and political leverage while signaling the challenges of implementing unified governance in Gaza. The step is seen as a strategic effort to safeguard Hamas’ interests amid evolving diplomatic and regional developments.
