Internet puts Liberman’s feet to fire on offing Hamas leader

A tongue-in-cheek website is letting Israelis conveniently find out if their incoming defense minister has kept his promise to kill Hamas in Gaza leader Ismail Haniyeh.

Avigdor Liberman promised earlier this year that he would assassinate Haniyeh within 48 hours if he became defense minister, unless Hamas returned the bodies of two Israeli soldiers killed in Gaza in 2014.

Has he whacked Haniyeh yet? Isismailhaniyehdeadyet.com will tell you the answer (no.)

The site was set up by Dr. Yuval Dror, dean of the communications track at the College of Management, according to Haaretz.
