Abstract: This paper examines the historic and political dynamics of administration in Gaza, focusing on the impact of Egyptian rule, Palestinian administration, and the rise of Hamas. The relevance of this topic lies in its implications for understanding the Palestinian struggle for self-determination. The aim is to analyze how the different government structures have shaped Palestinian identity and resistance. A qualitative approach was used, focusing on historical analysis and contextual examination of key events, based on a review of academic articles and books. The findings reveal that the Egyptian administration laid the foundations for political organisation, the Oslo Accords introduced complexities that fueled internal divisions, and the emergence of Hamas further transformed the socio-political landscape, intertwining the administration with armed resistance. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of the interaction between the administration and the resistance in Gaza.
