Head of Hamas Movement’s political bureau Khaled Mishaal on Wednesday warned Israel of any attempt to declare a new war on the Gaza Strip.
"We have no choice but to fight relentlessly against any Israeli new war on Gaza," Mishaal said in his speech broadcasted during “The Issue of Palestine: Strategic Evaluation 2016 – Strategic Assessment 2017” conference held in Turkey by al-Zaytouna Center.
The Palestinian people have made heroic sacrifices and still are, he added.
He pointed out that his group has significantly contributed in activating and developing the resistance option.
Hamas has played an important role in mobilizing the popular support for the Jerusalem issue and the Palestinian cause as a whole, according to his statements.
He also stressed the importance of Hamas’s continued support to the Palestinian people’s steadfastness.
“For the three decades of its existence, Hamas remained committed to the Palestinian national constants despite the international pressures.”
On the other hand, Mishaal called for "re-arranging the Palestinian home from within, to end internal division, to renew the national institutions, and to reactivate the Palestinians abroad.”
He also called for rehabilitating the Palestinian national project in coordination with all Palestinian national forces.
Mishaal stressed the urgent need of adopting a national strategy able to confront Israeli schemes and based on resistance option.

Chairman of Israeli Knesset’s foreign affairs and security committee and a member of the ruling Likud Party Avi Dichter said on Monday evening that “Israel must strengthen its means for destroying Hamas’ infrastructure in Gaza.”
His statements came shortly after Hamas Movement declared it chose Yehya Sinwar as its new political leader in the Gaza Strip.
“From today onward, the chairman of the Palestinian authority of Hamas in Gaza is a mass murderer, for all intents and purposes.
The illusion that there exists a political and a military echelon was never correct, and today it has vanished,” claimed Avi Dichter.
“The message for us is that we must strengthen our means for destroying Hamas’ infrastructure in Gaza, because we might need to use them earlier than we expected,” he added.

Israeli Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz, on Sunday, slammed the Education Minister Naftali Bennett, saying that he wants to drag the “entire country into a war.”
“Cabinet members should not criticize things just to gain political points. Here is a Cabinet minister and the head of a small party who wants to escalate the situation with Gaza because of his political interests,” Katz said, as reported by Ynet Israeli newspaper. “He wants to drag the entire country into a war. This is a very grave situation”, Katz added, according to the PNN. “Bennett is trying to widen his group of supporters at the expense of national |
interests, and this has to stop. I intend to fight how the Cabinet handed Operation Protective Edge in 2014.”
Bennett from the Jewish Home right wing nationalist party, following the Israeli aggression on Gaza in 2014, has said “It’s too bad we didn’t eliminate more terrorists because whoever lifts his hand against the state of Israel must die.”
In that time, Israel has killed over 2,200 Palestinians, according to UNRWA figures, at least 500 of them children.
Over 11,000 Palestinians were also wounded in the aggression. On the Israeli side, 67 soldiers and 6 civilians were killed.

Although the Israeli army denied any relation to the bombings, eyewitnesses confirmed seeing the Israeli war jets firing missiles into the border area, before retreating.
The strikes were not isolated from several aerial bombardments, and artillery shells fired by the Israeli army against various areas in Gaza, especially near the border, in addition to sites run by the al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.
The army has also been conducting daily limited invasions into Palestinians lands, and bulldozing them, close to the border fence, in addition to firing live rounds at homes, lands and the repeated attacks against the fishermen in Gaza territorial waters.
Local sources said that Mohammad was on his first day of working in the siege-busting tunnel, and that he was trying to financially support himself and his family, facing unemployment and extreme poverty because of the ongoing deadly Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip.
