Channel 12 reports that Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid and Shas leader Aryeh Deri recently held their first meeting in roughly a decade in order to discuss the former’s idea to advance a resolution in the Knesset that would enshrine the religious ruling of Shas’s late spiritual leader Ovadia Yosef that forbade Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount.
Deri told Lapid that Shas would support the symbolic initiative, Channel 12 says.
