The first deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Ahmad Bahar warned the Israeli occupation government against “playing with fire and getting embroiled in the Gaza quagmire,” stressing that the Israeli occupation is trying to drag the Palestinian people into open confrontation.

In a statement on Saturday, Bahar said that for the Israelis to think that attacking the Gaza Strip will be a picnic is a big mistake and means  that the occupation government has not learnt from past ventures.

He added that if the Israeli occupation army decided to go ahead with the aggression they will find tough resistance and the occupation will lose the battle of wills despite having a vicious killing machine that could commit massacres like it did in the last war on the Gaza Strip.

He also called on Palestinian resistance factions to observe the calm which was agreed amongst resistance factions so as not to give the Israeli occupation an excuse for its aggression.
