GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories: Hamas has reasserted control over large parts of Gaza from which the Israeli military withdrew under the US-sponsored ceasefire, exercising power through police and working to restart public administration. The inaugural meeting of US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” on Thursday included an announcement on the recruitment of a new transitional Palestinian police force in Gaza meant to take over security from Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas.

Gazans say Hamas is again extending its control over security, tax revenue and government services.
