CNN reports with straight face that *Haniya* "urged both sides Saturday to lay down their arms"

This is extremely clever and subtle satire, right?
Despite a call for calm, Israel launched more attacks against targets in Gaza early Sunday, continuing its bid to retrieve a soldier who was kidnapped two weeks ago.

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya urged both sides Saturday to lay down their arms, but a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that was out of the question until 19-year-old Cpl. Gilad Shalit was returned and militant attacks into Israel were halted.
He "urged both sides Saturday to lay down their arms"? He leads one of the sides. Who does CNN think he is? Secretary General of the UN?
