Israeli minister: Haniyeh’s death makes the world a better place

Two of the right-wing nationalist Israeli ministers have expressed satisfaction at the death of top Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

“Haniyeh’s death makes the world a little better,” Minister of Heritage of Israel Amichay Eliyahu wrote on the platform X.

Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli posted a picture of Haniyeh at an assembly where the “death of Israel” had been demanded. “Be careful what you wish for,” he wrote in the caption.

There were initially no official statements from the Israeli government or military regarding Haniyeh’s killing in an attack on his estate in Tehran. Hamas has blamed Israel for the attack.
