Gaza Management Committee Releases New Logo and Announces Reception of Job Applications for its Police Force

Following SadaNews - The National Committee for the Management of the Gaza Strip announced on Thursday a new logo in light of previous Israeli criticisms.

The logo did not change much, relying on a colored eagle featuring the Palestinian flag, which derives from the logo of the Palestinian Authority, a fact that once again sparked Israeli criticism at the media level from Israeli journalists, with no official comment issued by Netanyahu's government.

The committee announced the commencement of receiving applications from qualified candidates to join the transitional police force, which will be professional, accountable, and operate transparently. This was stated in their announcement text in English on the X platform, according to SadaNews follow-up.

It added: "This service will be built on solid foundations of accountability, transparency, and respect for the law, and the personnel will operate under clear standards of conduct, under continuous supervision and accountability, guided by the principle that public trust is earned through integrity, justice, and responsibility towards our people.
