Elections in Safed/Eli Ashkenazi
After ten years under the leadership of Mayor Yisrael Perush, a change was registered last night (Tuesday) in the ultra-orthodox city of Elad - when the candidate Yehuda Butbul, a representative of the Shas party, was declared the winner. The late night time when the initial results were delivered did not disturb the mayor's supporters who were coming to gather outside the party's headquarters in the city and celebrate his victory.
According to the results of the initial elections, the candidate from the Shas party, Yehuda Butbul, won a majority of 55.3% of the votes and deposed the mayor, who has been in office for ten years, Israel Forosh - the son of Minister Meir Forosh, who achieved 44.7% of the votes.
Currently, the difference in votes between the two candidates is about 2200 votes.

After the announcement of the victory of the Shas representative in the city - Aryeh Deri had a reason to celebrate. At 02:00 in the morning, as if it were noon, he called Butbol and congratulated him on the change that put him in the mayor's office.
This was not another victory in the local authority elections which were held yesterday. In view of the eastern majority in the city, Elad is supposed to be listed in the tabu under the name of Deri's party. Until 2013, the person sitting in the mayor's office was a member of Shas, but that year a change took place: Yisrael Parosh, son of Minister Meir Parosh, was re-elected and again
Deri, for his part, did everything to seize the leadership of the city, without success.

Political sources claimed that in one of the conversations Deri had with Degal HaTorah chairman, MK Moshe Gafni, he suggested: "Give me Elad, and take a few cities in exchange."
A political agreement was signed between Degel Torah and Shas, under which Gafni was supposed to cash the check and support Shas' candidacy.
But the new Lithuanian leadership, which took the place of Rabbi Gershon Edelstein and Rabbi Haim Kanievsky, decided otherwise.
Gafni had no choice but to take on the war with Deri, and the latter waged it with all his might.
He drove a wedge into the Agudath Israel, transferred the Gur Hasidim and the Vizhnitz Hasidim to his side, and returned the management of the city to his hands.
