Full Analysis Summary
Gaza governance proposal
Hamas has publicly pushed to integrate roughly 10,000 of its police officers into a U.S.-backed technocratic administration for Gaza called the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).
It has also invited about 40,000 civil servants and security personnel to cooperate with the new body.
Reporting presents the NCAG as a U.S.-backed, technocratic 15-member committee chaired by Ali Shaath that is intended to exclude designated foreign terrorist organisations.
Hamas officials say they are ready to hand over governance immediately.
They are simultaneously seeking to protect jobs and preserve security roles for their personnel while negotiations proceed.
Coverage Differences
Tone and emphasis / naming
All three sources report the basic facts that Hamas seeks to integrate police and invite civil servants to cooperate, but they emphasize different details and even use slightly different names for the committee. Haaretz (Israeli) frames the move as part of a U.S. plan and stresses that Hamas told its more than 40,000 civil servants and security personnel to cooperate with the NCAG and that Hamas says it is ready to hand over authority immediately; The Express Tribune (Asian) emphasizes the NCAG as a 15-member, US-backed technocratic body chaired by Ali Shaath and stresses the exclusion of designated “foreign terrorist organisations”; Balkanweb (Other) uses the phrase National Committee for Governance and highlights that many police have already begun performing duties in Gaza.
Hamas security and staffing
Hamas is explicitly pressing to retain its roughly 10,000-strong police force within the NCAG-run security structure.
It also seeks to protect the employment of around 40,000 civil servants, even while publicly signalling a willingness to cede formal control to the technocratic committee.
Reports say Hamas told its staff to cooperate and that some police have already resumed duties.
Hamas also acknowledged that restructuring and retirements could occur under the new administration.
Coverage Differences
Framing of Hamas readiness
Haaretz reports Hamas saying it is ready to hand over authority immediately to the committee and its chair Ali Shaath, highlighting a direct offer; The Express Tribune similarly notes Hamas urged cooperation while preserving jobs but frames this as Hamas 'pressing' for its officers to be incorporated; Balkanweb underscores that many police have already begun performing duties and presents Hamas as trying to reassert control on the ground.
Security and stabilization challenges
Security remains the central unresolved issue, with U.S. and NCAG leaders demanding the decommissioning of heavy weapons and the registration of personal arms.
Hamas is believed to still hold hundreds of rockets and thousands of light weapons.
Observers and media reporting raise serious doubts about whether the appointed NCAG security overseer, Sami Nasman, can operate effectively inside Gaza, and potential international troop contributors to any stabilization force are hesitant because of safety concerns.
Coverage Differences
Emphasis on disarmament and capability
Haaretz highlights the NCAG and U.S. demands to decommission heavy weapons, notes Hamas still likely holds rockets, and questions Sami Nasman’s ability to operate; The Express Tribune links Israeli troop withdrawals to Hamas giving up weapons and similarly notes unresolved questions about Nasman; Balkanweb underscores that disarmament remains stalled, reports U.S. demands for handing over heavy weapons and registering personal arms, and adds that Hamas still holds rockets and thousands of light weapons.
Unique reporting on possible incentives and Hamas proposals
Balkanweb uniquely reports that U.S. officials signalled possible amnesty offers for fighters and that Hamas floated a possible long-term ceasefire of about five years while emphasizing its priority of launching serious political talks on Palestinian statehood — material not present in the Haaretz and Express Tribune snippets.
Israel's stance on Gaza governance
Israel’s stated position creates a major political obstacle.
All three outlets report that Israel has ruled out any role for Hamas in Gaza’s future administration and is likely to oppose admitting Hamas-affiliated personnel to the NCAG, tying further troop withdrawals to Hamas surrendering weapons.
That opposition complicates the NCAG plan because the balance between international stabilization forces, safe entry for outside officers, and assurances about weapon decommissioning remains unsettled.
Coverage Differences
Clarity on Israeli stance and operational linkage
The Express Tribune states clearly that Israel has ruled out any Hamas role and ties Israeli troop withdrawals to Hamas relinquishing weapons; Haaretz says Hamas is seeking to include its police in the NCAG-run security structure — a demand likely to draw Israeli objections; Balkanweb similarly reports Israel has rejected any role for Hamas and notes this complicates admission of Hamas personnel. Each source therefore aligns on Israel’s opposition but frames the political linkages with slightly different emphasis.
