The Shas party issued a sharp statement Thursday, accusing the Attorney General of attempting to undermine the right-wing bloc and the Haredi public. The party claimed that arrests of yeshiva students and ensuing protests on Israeli roads were orchestrated by the Attorney General to fragment the right-wing bloc and alienate Haredi voters. Shas further alleged that individuals associated with the Kaplan protest movement are funding these demonstrations, collaborating with extremist elements responsible for dangerous, violent protests.
Shas described these actions as blatant and unprecedented interference in the elections by the justice system and elements within the military police. The party asserted that the arrests of yeshiva students were "deliberate and painful" and aimed at causing chaos on the roads.
While leveling these accusations, Shas also distanced itself from the violent protests, stating they do not represent the Haredi public. The party warned that such actions cause "terrible desecration of God's name" and harm the efforts to regulate the status of Torah scholars. Shas urged the Haredi public not to let the Attorney General and "Kaplan's money" disrupt their community or lead them to defeat.
