The Council of Torah Sages of the Shas party announced on Wednesday that its chairman, Aryeh Deri, had requested to resign from his position. However, the rabbis rejected his request, ordering him to continue leading the party. In an unusual and unequivocal decision, the council members stated they "forbid him from leaving his position in the movement." The rabbis praised Deri's work over the years, emphasizing that his leadership is particularly needed during the current period. They wrote, "At a time when Torah scholars are groaning under the burden of decrees in the midst of battle and crying out for salvation, the most experienced general is needed to lead the campaign." They added, "When going into battle, there is no possibility of returning midway, as the beginning of a fall has been attempted," and determined that Deri is not free to relinquish his mission. The Council of Torah Sages also prioritized the status of yeshiva students, declaring that Shas will act by all means to regulate their status and stop what they defined as their persecution. The rabbis blessed the approximately 300,000 Shas voters in the last elections and called on the movement's representatives to continue working for the world of Torah and Judaism.
