Hamas Intends to Control Gaza from Behind the Scenes
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - According to the IDF, Hamas will accept the Palestinian technocrat committee - the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) - with the goal of controlling it from behind the scenes, as Hizbullah has done in Lebanon. Handing over civilian functions to the NCAG makes Hamas's life easier, as they do not need to invest in civilian issues. The IDF noted that even though the NCAG will not be formally controlled by Hamas, it will still need to rely on local administrators in the field who are under Hamas control. This would not truly dislodge Hamas from power absent an additional round of military pressure.
