Aryeh Deri, the chairman of the Shas party, will continue in his role after the party's Council of Torah Sages prohibited him from resigning. The council convened to discuss Deri's request to step down and unanimously decided to "strengthen his hands" and instruct him to remain at the helm of the party. In a letter published by the newspaper "Ha'Derech," the sages expressed sorrow over Deri's resignation request, praising his contributions to the Sephardic Torah world.

Citing the "spiritual danger" facing the Jewish people and the "heavy burden of decrees" on Torah scholars, the council stated that "the most experienced general is needed to lead the campaign." They unequivocally "forbid him from leaving his position" and emphasized that "when going into battle, there is no possibility of turning back in the middle." Deri subsequently announced his acceptance of the rabbis' directive, stating his lifelong commitment to obeying Torah scholars. He announced plans to convene a faction meeting of Shas MKs and senior local authority representatives to draw lessons and prepare for the party's future activities.

Beyond Deri's leadership, the Council of Torah Sages also addressed the status of Torah students, resolving that Shas "will act by all means" to regulate their status and cease their "persecution." The rabbis also congratulated the approximately 300,000 Shas supporters for their backing and urged party representatives to continue their work for Torah and Judaism.
