Ahmad Mohammad Bahar (Arabic: أحمد بحر; 1949 – 17 November 2023) was the first deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC)[1] since his election to that post on 18 January 2006. Born in Gaza City, Palestine, he was a professor at the Islamic University of Gaza.[2][3]

In 2012, he delivered a televised sermon in which he prayed for Allah to kill "the Jews and their supporters... [and] the Americans and their supporters... without leaving a single one". This statement has been characterized as incitement to genocide.[4]

During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war he was fatally injured by an Israeli airstrike. He died from his wounds on 17 November 2023 at the age of 74.[5]
