PLC warns of Israel’s “shilly-shallying” vis-à-vis Hamas ceasefire provisos

Israel will pay heavy price for having been dragging its feet vis-à-vis the demands of the Palestinian resistance, the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) vowed, swearing tougher demands will be brought to table as long as Israel’s reluctance is kept up.

Dr. Ahmad Bahar, PLC deputy speaker warned, in a written statement, of what he labeled “Israeli procrastination” maintained regarding Hamas draft of demands

“The Palestinian resistance is ready to protect our citizens and stand up for their legitimate rights as has already been ensured by the international humanitarian law. Our resistance is also willing to stand firm and face up to Israeli terrorism,” Bahar wrote.

“Above all our resistance is adept enough to strike deadly blows at the Israeli occupation for whole months, and even years,” he added.

Indirect Egyptian-brokered cease-fire talks resumed on Saturday between Palestinian and Israeli truce delegates over ways to reach a permanent ceasefire, after having extended a humanitarian truce for five days set to end on Monday.

Gaza death toll has topped 1985, all mass-murdered in the wave of Israeli military attacks rocking the Strip since July 7. Thousands of civilians, particularly children, sustained deadly wounds while hundreds of houses and civil institutions have been razed to the ground during the Israeli carnages.
