Essam Al-Da'alis
Essam al-Da'alis (, born 30 October 1966), also spelled Daalis or Dalis, is a Palestinian politician and Hamas member who, on 13 June 2021, was appointed as head of the Government Administrative Committee of the Gaza Strip, a position also referred to as "head of Government Follow-up Committee" and often compared to that of Prime Minister or head of government.

2023 Israel–Hamas War
} The ongoing armed conflict between Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups and Israel military forces began on 7 October 2023, 50 years after the start of the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
