Gaza City: The Hamas movement announced early Sunday that it is ready to hand over the Gaza Strip to the consensus government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
The group said in an emailed official statement that it has agreed to dissolve “the Administrative Committee, hand over the Gaza Strip to the consensus government of Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah, and (to) holding the general elections.
“Hamas invites the consensus government to come to Gaza to practice its mission and carry out its duties in the Gaza Strip immediately, and it accepts holding the general elections,” the statement said.
It added that it had decided to make the announcement in response to Egyptian efforts to achieve reconciliation and end the internal Palestinian division.
