In the video: Chairman of Torah Judaism, Moshe Gafni reacts to the words of Aryeh Deri (Walla system!)
Shas chairman Aryeh Deri said this morning (Monday) that he takes responsibility for Torah Judaism will only go with the Likud after the elections, provoking sharp criticism from the party's chairman, Moshe Gafni. favors
33 years I've been in the Knesset, I've always gone with the right.
Those who take responsibility for us arrogantly - this is ridiculous and irrelevant.
I wish they would learn from us how we always went with the right."
The confrontation between Deri and Gaffni was registered after the latter, together with members of his party, recently spread messages that if Netanyahu does not have 61 mandates to form a government after the upcoming elections, they will look for the possibility of forming another government, for example Led by Blue and White-New Hope chairman Benny Gantz, but together with the Likud.

Last April, before the dissolution of the Knesset, Walla learned that Gafni had spoken with Gantz in an effort to prevent elections and form an alternative government.
The two held at least two talks, during which Gafni examined options for forming a government together with Gantz.
The chairman of Blue and White rejected the proposals. According to a political source, "Gafni initiated the talks with Gantz with the knowledge of senior Likud officials but not on their behalf."
Likud officials accused Gafni of thwarting the move to overthrow the government. According to them, Gafni delivered a firm message, with the backing of the spiritual leader Rabbi Gershon Edelstein, according to which he is not ready to go to the elections. "This opposition," they said. "Completely sterilizes the attempt to bring defectors from the coalition.
If there is no point in disbanding the Knesset because Gafni is opposed, why should the MKs on the right or in a new hope come with us? To stay on the air?".
MK Gafni's office denied the allegations. The Defense Minister's office said: "Ganz has not spoken with Gafni in recent weeks.
