The United States-led Board of Peace has acknowledged Hamas's announcement regarding the relinquishment of governing authority in the Gaza Strip. The announcement came on Monday, July 6, 2026, after the Hamas-controlled Gaza government declared its resignation and transfer of power to the newly established National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).

"We have noted today's announcement regarding the dissolution of the 'Emergency Committee' in Gaza. Ultimately, our assessment will be based on actions, not promises, in meeting the urgent needs of the people of Gaza," the Board of Peace stated via its X platform. The board stressed that any decisions made must align with the roadmap for advancing governance, security, and transition in Gaza.

The Board of Peace indicated that discussions on this roadmap could be finalized promptly, including the implementation of mechanisms to ensure NCAG assumes its governmental authority. A core principle emphasized is the establishment of a single authority, a single law, and a single weapon, with all armaments to be consolidated under NCAG's control as stipulated by the Comprehensive Peace Plan for Gaza and UN Security Council Resolution 2803. The transfer of authority must enable NCAG to independently execute its mandate, including administrative and governance decisions.

Meanwhile, Palestinian refugees observed Eid al-Adha prayers amidst the ruins of the Al-Huda Mosque in Khan Younis, Gaza. The celebration was marked by a scarcity of sacrificial animals due to the blockade and war-related destruction of farms, leading to exorbitant prices that placed them out of reach for most residents.
