Summary

Hamas Dissolves Government

The US-led Board of Peace announced a $2.45 billion reconstruction fund, far below the $71.4 billion needed.

Hamas dissolved its formal government in July, transferring authority to the technocratic National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.

History

Historical Context

In August 2005, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon ordered the disengagement from Gaza, evacuating about 9,000 settlers from 21 settlements after the Second Intifada. Although Israel withdrew its troops, it retained control of Gaza’s airspace, borders and movement, a status the United Nations and the International Court of Justice continue to describe as occupation. The ongoing blockade links the 2005 pull-out to today’s humanitarian crisis.
