Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, chairman of the Shas party, stated during holiday prayers that the miracles involving a plane from Dubai demonstrated God's omnipresence and power. He connected the events to the Sukkot commandment of waving the lulav and etrog, asserting that "when we waved the lulav, God showed that there is no place that is not His."
Deri further emphasized the strength of the Jewish people, attributing it to "the Torah, prayer, and commandments." He announced that a special thanksgiving ceremony would be held in a sukkah.
The remarks were made in the context of recent events involving a plane that experienced a significant malfunction en route from Dubai but landed safely, an event Deri interpreted as a divine miracle.
