Deri: Eisenkot Heads a Camp of Hatred for Judaism
Shas chairman declares that his party is loyal to the right-wing bloc and its leader. In his opinion, after the elections, a broad government should be established under Netanyahu's leadership.
Assessment
Deri's statement frames the upcoming election as a battle over Jewish identity, not just coalition arithmetic. By labeling Gantz's camp as one of hatred toward Judaism, he is drawing a sharp ideological line to rally religious voters. The call for a broad government under Netanyahu signals that Deri sees a narrow right-wing coalition as insufficient and is positioning Shas as a bridge builder.
