Shas cancels Passover mass rally amid Deri corruption probe
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, facing a corruption investigation, decides to cancel the annual Shas party rally set to take place in the Arena stadium in southern Jerusalem on Passover, which over 11,000 were expected to attend.
Shas officials and rabbinical leaders reportedly fear that the rally may turn into a protest against Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, police and the Israeli judicial system over the corruption probe.
