Shas Expected to Back Communications Law in Exchange for Basic Law on Torah Study
The Shas party is anticipated to support the communications law proposed by Minister Shlomo Karhi. This development comes from a letter written by Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, the spiritual leader of Shas, to the party chairman Aryeh Deri. In the letter, Rabbi Yosef emphasized that under no circumstances should the completion of the Basic Law on Torah Study and the repeal of the kosher reform be jeopardized. He stated, "The Torah is above all." This indicates a political agreement where Shas will back Karhi's communications legislation in return for advancing their priority legislation on Torah study.
