MK Aryeh Deri: "My mission is to fight for Judaism and help the weak" • On Bennett: "Does not control his government, the public is confused and loses faith"


Shas chairman Rabbi Aryeh Deri held a zoom call last night (Tuesday) to about 30 deputy mayors participating in a conference of deputies in Eilat, and broke a long silence when he referred for the first time to the publication that he is on his way to signing a plea deal.

Deri stated that he would not give up his activity as chairman of Shas.

This is against the background of the report that as part of the plea agreement in which he will plead guilty to tax offenses, he will resign from the Knesset, but will not be disgraced and will be able to run in the next elections.

At the beginning of his speech, Rabbi Deri reviewed the struggle in the government by the Shas faction in the Knesset, the plenum and the committees, and the spiritual danger that hovers over religious matters in the country.

"In those days it was said, 'In those days there is no king in Israel - a man who is honest in his eyes will do so,'" Deri said, adding that "Bennett does not control his government and the public is confused and loses faith. "Karib and Michaeli, as well as Kahana, each in his own field contribute to his injury. We thought Mansour Abbas, who is a 'religious' person, would help us, but it turned out that only his budgets interested him. He became the center of the coalition."

Rabbi Deri added: "Matan Kahana, who tried to discredit Shas' activities in the Ministry of Religions, had to see this week that Shas ministers were the best and most professional, following the government report. We received from them the Ministry of Religions with a budget of only 4 million "Shas ministers have caused a revolution, we have brought tens of millions to religious buildings and today the religious councils are a body full of budgets for activities."

Referring to the local arena, Rabbi Deri said: "Shas is the largest municipal party in Israel, behind us is the Likud by a large margin, followed by the rest.

You are not political "appointments" but representatives who are repeatedly elected by the public because of your strong activity on the ground. "

In conclusion, Rabbi Deri referred to the plea deal that emerges in his case: "It is important to me that you hear it in my voice - I have no intention of letting go for even a minute of my activity as chairman of the Shas movement. The coming of Moshiach Tzedeknu. It does not matter if in one position or another. Such and we take advantage of them every day. "
