In his first public statement since the election, Deri stated, "Tomorrow I will convene the movement's Knesset members and our senior representatives in local authorities for a faction meeting, to roll up our sleeves, learn lessons, and move the movement forward." The Shas Council's decision came after Deri had sought to step down.
