Aryeh Deri, the Chairman of the Shas party, announced on Thursday to his close associates his intention to resign from leading the movement. This decision comes in the wake of what is described as a stinging failure in the recent Knesset elections.

Deri's potential departure marks a significant moment for the Haredi Sephardi party, which experienced a considerable setback in the parliamentary vote. The specific details of the election results that led to this decision were not elaborated upon in the announcement, but the implication is that the outcome was unsatisfactory for the party's leadership and its supporters.

Further details regarding the timeline for his resignation or who might succeed him as party leader are expected to be released in the coming days. The announcement has sent ripples through the political landscape, as Deri has been a dominant figure in Israeli politics for decades, particularly within the Haredi community.
