Despite the reports of progress towards the signing of a coalition agreement between the Likud and Shas, Shas senior officials expressed outrage that Prime Minister-designate Netanyahu is not promoting the replacement of the Speaker of the Knesset as soon as possible even before the formation of the government and the signing of a coalition agreement with all the parties. There was a tense meeting between Deri and Netanyahu on the subject.
The reason for Deri's strong desire to replace the Speaker of the Knesset as soon as possible is the personnel law that the Knesset must pass in order to ensure the appointment of the Speaker of Shas to the position of Minister in the government.

As a reminder, the legal advisor to the government determined that Deri, who was convicted of a criminal offense and sentenced to a suspended prison sentence as part of a plea deal, cannot be automatically appointed as a minister without the approval of the chairman of the Central Election Commission because the offense for which he was convicted does not carry stigma.
According to the proposed law, those who have been convicted of a criminal offense and sentenced to a suspended prison sentence will be able to be appointed minister without condition.
As long as the current Speaker of the Knesset, Miki Levy, is in office - it is not possible to pass laws in the required time frame since the agenda is in his hands.
The fight over the division of the cases
In the meantime, Torah Judaism was angry that, according to them, they were being disadvantaged in the distribution of cases, when, among other things, the Likud did not want to give them the social equality case demanded by MK Uri Makleb. In addition, there are discussions about additional demands of the party for various committees.
Even in the Shas, things are still not completely closed, when the party demanded the Knesset committee, but the Likud refused it out of a desire to keep the committee with them.
