Shas activists offer voters charms against coronavirus at polling stations
Shas activists are distributing kameas, or charms, offering divine protection against the coronavirus at polling stations in Jerusalem.
At one station in the Talpiot neighborhood, a police officer tells voters that there is nothing illegal about this, since other parties are giving out fliers and this is no different.
On Army Radio on Sunday evening, Shas leader Aryeh Deri was asked about the legality of the kameas, and claimed that everything Shas was doing to encourage voters had been checked and approved by legal authorities.
