The senior rabbi of Shas's Council of Torah Sages, Rabbi Moshe Maya, stated that a government led by Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot in rotation could be successful. In an interview with Mishpacha magazine, Rabbi Maya was quoted as saying, "A Netanyahu and Eisenkot rotation government can be an excellent one." This statement comes as Shas representatives officially recommended Netanyahu to form the next government at the Presidential Residence. The Shas delegation included Michael Malchieli, Yinon Azulai, Yoav Ben Tzur, Haim Biton, and Dror Amos.
Concurrently, Shas's Council of Torah Sages prohibited Arie Deri from resigning his position as party chairman. Deri had reportedly sought to step down following the party's poor performance in the recent elections, securing only six mandates. The council's decision was made after a telephone consultation among its members. It remains unclear whether Deri will continue to serve as a Member of Knesset.
