Shas Party Submits Knesset Candidate List for Rabbinical Approval
The Shas party has submitted its list of candidates for the upcoming Knesset elections to the Council of Torah Sages for approval. The list, revealed for the first time, includes prominent figures within the ultra-Orthodox Sephardic party.
Topping the list is Arie Deri, the party's long-standing leader. Following him are Yנון Azulai, Michael Malchieli, Yoav Ben Tzur, and Haim Biton. The subsequent candidates on the list are Dror Amos, Yoni Mashriki, Yossi Tayeb, Uriel Buso, Moshe Abutbul, and Erez Malul.
The Council of Torah Sages, a key rabbinical body that guides Shas, is expected to review and approve the proposed slate. This process is a customary step for the party, reflecting the significant influence of religious leadership on its political decisions and candidate selections.
