Haredi parties are facing criticism for a lack of tangible achievements during the recent term, leading to growing disillusionment among their constituents. The Haredi public is increasingly realizing that political operatives are primarily self-serving, resulting in a rising number of voters abandoning the two long-standing Haredi parties.
Arieh Deri, specifically, is described as a failure, not for neglecting public welfare, but in terms of political power, which is how he reportedly measures himself. An analysis suggests that Deri's return to lead the Shas movement has led the party to its worst-ever results.
