Shas party leader Aryeh Deri issued a stark warning to leaders of the United Torah Judaism party, telling them they had fallen into a "trap" amid secret negotiations between the "change bloc" and Haredi parties. The warning came as Deri spoke with United Torah Judaism representatives, according to Haredi affairs correspondent Ari Kalman. Deri reportedly told them that the "change bloc" sought Haredi votes solely to form a government, after which Arab parties would prevent its downfall for its entire term. He also addressed the possibility of Shas joining the "change bloc," stating that anyone expecting such a move should "return to reality." Deri asserted that Shas would not join a government that had pursued students of religious seminaries for four years and did not believe in resolving their status in such a manner.
