Shas Party Taps Reserve Lieutenant Colonel for High Knesset List Spot
The Shas party has placed retired Lieutenant Colonel Dror Amos in the sixth position on its Knesset (parliament) list, a move seen as an attempt to appeal to the serving and reserve military community. This decision comes amidst significant public criticism directed at Shas for its support of the conscription law, which has drawn ire from various segments of Israeli society.
By including Amos, a reserve officer, in a prominent spot on the party's electoral slate, Shas aims to signal its outreach to the public that serves in the military. Amos also holds a public position as the chairman of the Haifa Religious Council, a role he assumed last year.
The placement is widely interpreted as a strategic effort by Shas to broaden its appeal and address the backlash stemming from its stance on the conscription law.
