The Hamas movement decided after the assassination of Issam Al-Da’alis not to appoint a replacement for him in the chairmanship of the government follow-up committee [effective head of government].
The decision not to appoint a replacement for Al-Da’alis paves the way for the Community Support Committee to take over the administration of the Gaza Strip’s affairs, Hamas official said in a statement.
According to the official, governmental affairs are now being managed to follow up on basic services only, in order to prevent a vacuum in light of the war.
He called for accelerating the Community Support Committee’s assumption of its work in accordance with what was agreed upon.
