Shas Condemns Judge Solberg for Banning Party Video, Accuses Left-Wing Bias
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

The Shas party sharply criticized Judge Noam Solberg following his decision to disqualify a Shas campaign video. The party accused the judge of yielding to pressure from the left-wing party led by Gadi Eizenkot and claimed the video contained no Israeli Defense Forces symbols or elements, disputing the grounds for its removal.

Shas spokesperson stated that the left is spreading propaganda against Shas regarding military conscription, yet when Shas presents its stance, it faces judicial interference. The party further condemned the judiciary, asserting that legal persecution against right-wing, traditional, and religious communities has become unsurprising.

Concluding their statement, Shas emphasized that while the video can be deleted, the support of hundreds of thousands of families for the party cannot be erased. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between Shas, the judiciary, and left-wing political factions ahead of the 2026 elections.
