All legal and administrative arrangements for the handover have been finalized, with current government institutions serving only as a temporary body until the committee assumes control.

Committee head Ali Shaath said it is ready to take over once the necessary political, administrative, and security conditions are in place, emphasizing the need for "one authority, one law, and one weapon."

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem said the move was coordinated with mediators and urged them to pressure Israel to allow the committee into Gaza to oversee relief, recovery, and reconstruction.

Separately, a Hamas delegation traveled to Istanbul after talks in Cairo, with Israel expected to respond to the group's latest ceasefire proposal later this week.

Hamas said it is prepared to reach an immediate agreement if it includes a full ceasefire, 600 aid trucks entering Gaza daily, the immediate deployment of the Gaza administration committee, a gradual transfer of heavy weapons to the committee alongside Israeli withdrawals, and a commitment that disarmament will not be linked to reconstruction or other issues.

Hamas's maneuver is simple:

The willingness to "make room" for a technocratic government is designed to prevent the disarmament of Hamas.

Hamas is interested in a "Hezbollah model" in Gaza: The technocratic committee will be responsible for garbage removal and municipal services, while Hamas will remain the dominant military force.

When the weapons are in Hamas's hands—the civilian government will, of course, operate according to its dictates. This way, Hamas will be able to continue suppressing Palestinians in Gaza and waging its jihad war against Israel.

Israel insists on implementing the Trump plan in full, with its core being the disarmament of Hamas and the other terror organizations and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip.

On Wednesday (July 1), a nuclear convoy (carrying classified information and not necessarily nuclear-related) of the French Armed Forces was scheduled to pass at night near the 12th Armored Regiment garrison in Olivet, near Orléans, but had to change route at the last minute following the appearance of an unidentified drone above the convoy, reportedly jamming the phones and security systems of the convoy and the nearby garrisons.

An eyewitness to the event reported that the drone had a Shahed/Geran-like shape and that an unknown vehicle was spotted inside the security perimeter of the convoy before quickly escaping.

Following the incident, the army reportedly instructed the witness not to disclose anything and bury the event.

We're doing very well with Iran.

I hear "They are doing very well." They are not doing well at all.

They want to make a deal so badly. They have to make the right deal.

They've agreed to a lot of things that a lot of people said they wouldn't agree to.

We're going to win one way or the other: the nice way or the not nice way.

I told King Charles maybe he should have a good nickname like "Charles the Conqueror."

He said, "No, no, no, please."

I see Larry [Fink] and some of the biggest guys in Wall Street: Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, BlackRock. They are all here.

Think of it. I am making them all geniuses. Every one of them is a genius.

A social democrat is a communist.

Infantino confirmed he received a call from President Trump about the case but said he explained that "there was an ongoing legal process" and that the matter would be decided by FIFA's independent disciplinary bodies.

"Sometimes I am surprised by their decisions. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree," Infantino said.

"What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them," adding that respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is essential to protecting "the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA."
