Netanyahu Asks for "No Comment" on Haniya's Assassination

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested today, Wednesday, that ministers refrain from commenting on the assassination of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniya. However, Israeli Heritage Minister Amihai Eliyahu commented on the event, stating that "Haniya's death makes the world a little better, no more fake surrender agreements." The American network CNN reported that the Israeli army told them that it "does not respond to reports in foreign media," following the announcement of Haniya's assassination.
