- MK Pindrus believed Shas would support a government formula, citing yeshiva student issues.
- Shas denied Pindrus's claim, stating no negotiations with the "left-wing coalition."
- The exchange occurred during ongoing government formation talks.
Member of Knesset Pindrus expressed his assessment in an interview that the Shas party would support an agreed-upon formula for government formation. He suggested that Shas, like other parties, has yeshiva students subject to criminal orders, implying a shared concern that could lead to support. This assessment comes amid ongoing negotiations for establishing a new government.
However, Shas quickly responded to Pindrus's remarks, issuing a sharp rebuttal. A spokesperson for the party stated, "We are not conducting negotiations with any element of the left-wing coalition." This statement directly contradicts Pindrus's prediction and clarifies Shas's current stance on engaging with potential coalition partners.
