TheSupreme Administrative Committee, also known as theGaza Administrative Committee, was the governance body established byHamas to oversee Gaza's ministries in 2017.
Hamas established the committee in March 2017.Mahmoud Abbas, president of thePalestinian Authority in the West Bank, decried the move as Hamas creating a shadow government and trying to entrench its control in Gaza.[1]
On 17 September 2017, Hamas announced it was dissolving the Supreme Administrative Committee in response to Egypt's efforts as part of theFatah–Hamas reconciliation process. TheThird Hamdallah Government was expected to assume the committee's administrative responsibilities in Gaza.[2]
Some legal experts believed that the existence of the Supreme Administrative Committee conflicted with the2003 Palestinian Basic Law and was illegitimate.[3]
