The Shas party issues a statement saying it will back whatever decision Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes.
The statement says that party leader Aryeh Deri has consulted with Shas spiritual leaders and “it was decided that Shas will support any decision” by Netanyahu and the Likud party.
The statement comes with Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant set to give statements to the nation tonight, with Gallant expected to call for a halt to judicial overhaul legislation.
