Shas Leader Aryeh Deri Highlights Party's Strong Support Among Soldiers
Aryeh Deri, chairman of the Shas party, emphasized the party's Zionist credentials during the launch of its campaign in Holon. Addressing critics who compare Shas to the Ra'am party and claim it is not Zionist, Deri challenged these assertions by citing electoral data. He stated that in the most recent elections, Shas received 31,000 votes from soldiers, underscoring the party's significant backing within the military community. Deri noted that while he usually does not engage with such criticisms, the soldiers' votes demonstrate Shas's strong connection to Zionist values and the Israeli defense forces.
