Netanyahu fires Deri in accordance with Supreme Court ruling – The Shas Party leader will retain his title of vice premier after being stripped of his ministerial roles. Benjamin Netanyahu says he will seek “any legal way” for Deri to “continue to contribute to the State of Israel.” | JNS.org
(January 22, 2023 / JNS) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday the dismissal of Shas chairman Aryeh Deri from his ministerial positions.
The announcement follows last week’s Supreme Court ruling that Deri’s appointment was “unreasonable in the extreme” due to a prior tax fraud conviction.
In his letter of dismissal, Netanyahu wrote, “As you know, I decided to appoint you as deputy prime minister and minister of the interior and health with the approval of the majority of Knesset members due to the fact that I see you as an anchor of experience, wisdom and responsibility that are important to the State of Israel at all times, and especially at this time.”
