Shas leader Deri expresses solidarity with Halimi protesters
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, the leader of the Shas party, expresses his solidarity with protesters demonstrating for justice for Sarah Halimi in Paris, Israel, and elsewhere.
Halimi, an Orthodox Jewish woman in her sixties, was pushed out of the window of her Paris flat in 2017 by neighbor Kobili Traore, who shouted “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great” in Arabic).
Deri calls Halimi’s killing an “anti-Semitic murder” and condemns the decision by a top French court to deem Traore not criminally responsible for his actions as he was under the influence of marijuana.
