  • Shas party chairman Arie Deri did not request to resign from his positions, the party stated.
  • The party called media reports of Deri's resignation "incorrect."
  • Reports claimed Deri sent a resignation letter to the Council of Torah Sages.
  • The party issued a statement to the press denying the reports.

The Shas party has officially denied reports claiming that its chairman, Arie Deri, requested to resign from his positions as party leader and member of the Knesset. In a statement released to the press, the party asserted that "The publications in the media, according to which Shas Chairman Deri announced in a letter to the Council of Torah Sages his resignation from the Knesset and the leadership of the movement, are incorrect."

The party's statement directly refutes media reports that suggested Deri had communicated his intention to step down to the Council of Torah Sages, a key religious body guiding the party.
