Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement Monday morning expressing support for Shas chairman Aryeh Deri, against the backdrop of reports that Gadi Eisenkot is weighing an offer to the chareidi parties to join a government under his leadership.
"Aryeh Deri has stood firm for years in the face of the unbridled attacks by the media and the left, who want to crush Shas," Netanyahu said. "Now, in hypocrisy that cries out to heaven, they are prepared to offer the chareidim heaven and earth so that they will join them."
