As part of the U.S.-backed "Board of Peace" 20-point plan to end Israel's military assault on Gaza, Hamas is dissolving its civilian governing body in the Gaza Strip. Hamas's head of administration, Mohammed al-Farra, resigned from his position on Monday. Hamas, which has controlled the territory for nearly two decades, has said that its ministries and staff will stay in place, and that it will still oversee security and policing in parts of Gaza left under its control.
The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, NCAG, was formed in January 2026 and is meant to take transitional control. "In practice," says Amjad Iraqi, senior Israel-Palestine analyst at the International Crisis Group, "Hamas is still the de facto governing authority on the Palestinian-populated side of Gaza. The NCAG, the Palestinian technocratic committee that's supposed to take over those governing duties, is still basically stuck in Cairo and not allowed to enter into Gaza to assume those duties."
Since the deal was signed in October, Israel has continued to uphold its blockade of Gaza, preventing people and aid from traveling through its heavily policed borders. It has also violated the deal's ceasefire provisions on a near-daily basis, killing nearly 1,100 Palestinians, including women, children and other unarmed civilians. "Very little of this, if any, is actually being called out either by [Board of Peace High Representative for Gaza Nickolay Mladenov] or by the U.S. officials, and what they're actually doing is allowing Israel to keep bending the terms of the ceasefire, if not openly violating it," says Iraqi.

 Evelyn Hockstein /ReutersWASHINGTON CROSSING, Pennsylvania—At a campaign rally in the most important swing state in the country, anti-Trump activist George Conway told the Daily Beast why he thinks Kamala Harris can win over Republicans.
"She's kind of done it already," he said. "Look at all those people who voted for [Nikki] Haley when she was already done. I actually think there's kind of a hidden Harris vote for Republicans who are just exhausted by Donald Trump."
Turnout is another factor that plays to Democrat's advantage, Conway predicted. "I also think that even the people who are still for Trump and won't vote for Harris, I don't think the turnout's going to be great for him."

WASHINGTON - Today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) announced the selection of Northeastern University to lead a consortium of U.S. academic institutions and other partners for a new Center of Excellence for Engineering Secure Environments from Targeted Attacks (ESE). S&T will provide ESE with a $3.6 million grant for its first operating year of a ten-year grant period.
"Researching and developing science and technology solutions to combat emerging threats is a top priority for DHS, and I am looking forward to continuing this important work in partnership with Northeastern University," "The new Center of Excellence will provide improved access to high-quality, university-led research and education resources for the Department and the broader homeland security enterprise, while at the same time training our Nation's next generation of homeland security leaders."
Each Center of Excellence is led by a U.S. college or university in partnership with other academic institutions, industry, National Laboratories, and other Federally Funded Research and Development Centers. Additionally, Centers of Excellence partner with other federal agencies; state, local, and tribal governments; non-profits; and first responder organizations.
"ESE's research agenda will foster a culture of ‘security by design' to integrate novel engineering design concepts, technologies, and capabilities to detect, deter, mitigate, and respond to targeted attacks." "By partnering with universities, S&T delivers innovative, practical, multidisciplinary, customer-driven solutions."
