Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh warned Zionist entity against any reoccupation of the Gaza Strip, saying Tel Aviv will pay dearly for any such aggression

Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh warned Zionist entity against any reoccupation of the Gaza Strip, saying Tel Aviv will pay dearly for any such aggression.

"We tell the enemy and (Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor) Lieberman who is threatening to reoccupy Gaza that the time for your threats is over," Haniyeh told a rally in Gaza City on Sunday. "Any aggression or crime or stupidity you commit will cost you a very high price," he pointed out.

On March 12, Lieberman called for the full reoccupation of the besieged Gaza Strip amid rising tensions in the region. He made the remarks on Israel’s Channel 2 television following a retaliatory attack by Islamic Jihad movement against Israel earlier in the day.

Haniyeh also reiterated Hamas’s strong opposition to the so-called peace talks between Palestinians and the Zionist regime.

"Stop negotiating with the enemy. We will not recognize Israel," he told the Palestinian Authority.
