Arie Deri, the chairman of the Shas party, announced on Sunday evening his resignation from the Knesset, the 26th Israeli parliament. His departure from the list is accompanied by that of fellow Member of Knesset Moshe Abutbul and candidate Dror Amos. The journalist Yishai Cohen first reported these details.
In their stead, Members of Knesset Uriel Busso and Yossi Taieb will enter the Knesset. Despite stepping down as a Knesset member, Deri is expected to continue leading the party as chairman of the Shas movement. Deri stated that this move was made following instructions from the Council of Torah Sages, which he accepted without hesitation.

Deri expressed hope that the Shas party will regain its former strength, stating, "I will continue, with God's help, to act as chairman of the Shas movement under the guidance of our Sages, and together we will continue to restore its glory."
