Center-rightCharged tone
The ultra-Orthodox Shas party has labeled reports of its agreement to join a coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot as "complete fake news." The denial comes after an N12 report suggested Shas would not obstruct an opposition bloc coalition including United Torah Judaism, following Avigdor Liberman dropping his veto on haredi parties. Shas maintains it is part of the right-wing bloc and follows directives from the Council of Torah Sages.
