It has been 25 days since the announcement of the Palestinian National Committee (technocrats) formed to manage the Gaza Strip, and they have yet to enter or begin their tasks, leaving over two million Palestinians hoping for improvement in their challenging living conditions. Israeli obstacles have prevented committee members from entering Gaza, compounded by additional administrative and technical arrangements that still hinder their movement on the ground. Despite expectations that the committee's head and members would arrive on the first day the Rafah crossing reopened on February 2, the continued delay raises many questions about the true reasons behind it.

According to Israeli media, the occupying government has been obstructing the committee’s operations by preventing members from entering Gaza from the Egyptian side and denying them the necessary permits. Responses from the Gaza Management Committee members were characterized by silence, and they have avoided discussing the reasons for their delayed arrival, despite multiple attempts by Al Jazeera to seek their comments. However, an unnamed factional source hinted that the direct reasons for the hindrance are tied to the implementation of prior understandings and agreements that have yet to be fulfilled, further complicating their entry into the enclave.

The situation continues to raise concerns among Palestinians who are eager for administrative relief and improved living conditions in Gaza. The international community is closely watching the developments, as the potential impact of the committee's work may present new opportunities for governance and humanitarian assistance within the besieged territory. However, the ongoing delays reflect the complex political dynamics that continue to hinder progress in the region.
