• Hamas plans to dissolve its Gaza government when a new Palestinian technocratic committee is established.
• The ceasefire, which began on October 10, has seen a rising death toll from ongoing violence.
• International oversight by the "Board of Peace," led by Trump, will monitor the transition and disarmament processes.
• Negotiations are ongoing between Hamas and various countries about the formation of the new committee.
• Israeli police are investigating a top Netanyahu official over allegations of obstructing security investigations.

On Sunday, Hamas declared it would facilitate the dissolution of its government in Gaza contingent upon the formation of a Palestinian technocratic leadership committee, as stipulated under the US-brokered peace plan. However, the group did not specify when this change will occur. Notably, the technocrats are not meant to be politically affiliated, and it remains uncertain if their appointments will receive approval from Israel and the United States, according to SCMP, LA Times, and India Times.

The ceasefire, which commenced on October 10, has seen an escalating death toll in Gaza, with recent reports indicating that Israeli gunfire has resulted in the deaths of three Palestinians. This ceasefire entails a cessation of hostilities and an exchange of hostages, continuing through its initial phase as efforts are underway to recover the remains of the last hostage unaccounted for, as reported by SCMP, LA Times, and India Times.

Meanwhile, discussions are set to transpire regarding the establishment of the new technocratic committee, with a Hamas delegation expected to engage with representatives from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey this week. Hazem Kassem, a spokesman for Hamas, urged expedited actions toward finalizing the committee's formation. The delegation will be led by Khalil al-Hayya, a prominent negotiator for Hamas, according to SCMP, LA Times, and India Times.

Additionally, the proposed "Board of Peace," led by former US President Donald Trump, is designed to oversee the new governance structure, addressing Hamas's disarmament and coordinating the deployment of an international security force. The board's composition is yet to be announced, and there has been little progress reported on these matters, which remains a concern for the involved international actors, according to SCMP, LA Times, and India Times.

Violence continues unabated in Gaza, with three recent Israeli fatalities attributed to ongoing hostilities. Reports suggest at least two individuals were shot in Bani Suhaila, while another was reported dead in Gaza City's Tuffah neighborhood, which raises further complications for the ceasefire’s sustainability. The Israeli military contends that any actions taken since the start of the ceasefire have been reactions to alleged violations of the agreement, as stated by SCMP, LA Times, and India Times.

Moreover, the Israeli police are currently investigating Tzachi Braverman, a senior official from Prime Minister Netanyahu's office, over potential obstruction of a sensitive inquiry regarding classified military information leaked to a German publication, Bild. This development has generated significant media interest and controversy, given the implications regarding national security and public trust in the government. Opposition leader Yair Lapid has called for Braverman's suspension, citing inappropriateness for someone implicated in obstructing investigations to hold an ambassadorial position, while Minister Saar defended his appointment until formal charges are made, according to SCMP, LA Times, and India Times.
