Shas head slams opposition as ‘irresponsible’ ahead of Shabbat bill votes
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleShas party leader Aryeh Deri slams the “irresponsible behavior” of the opposition and the coalition’s Yisrael Beytenu party in the lead-up to the final votes later today on a bill that would shutter mini-markets on Shabbat.
“The behavior of the opposition is irresponsible and I also include within this Yisrael Beytenu,” says the head of the ultra-Orthodox party.
The opposition and Yisrael Beytenu are refusing to have one MK skip the votes on the bill to offset the absence of Likud’s Yehudah Glick, whose wife died earlier today.
Deri vows the bill will become law despite the coalition’s difficulties in mustering a majority.
