Aryeh Deri emerged from his Jerusalem home a short while ago to the cheers of a few hundred supporters.
The Shas leader did not speak, getting into a car to head to a funeral.
Earlier, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana arrived for a visit, to boos from some Deri fans. Ohana’s appointment to the symbolic position, as an openly gay man, has incensed some Haredim.
