Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Shas chairman Aryeh Deri as Interior and Health Minister Sunday afternoon, four days after Deri was disqualified from serving as a minister by the Supreme Court.
At the weekly Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu read the dismissal letter: "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."
"Yes, I thought it was important for you to serve the State of Israel as a member of the security-political cabinet in my government, where you could influence your many years of experience as a cabinet member in the governments of the late Prime Ministers Yitzhak Shamir and Yitzhak Rabin - you rich experience that contributes to the security and resilience of the State of Israel.
"Unfortunately, despite the above, on 18.1.23 the Supreme Court decided ... that I have an obligation to remove you from your position as Minister of the Interior and Health. This unfortunate decision ignores the will of the people, as reflected in the great trust that the public gave to the representatives of the people and their elected officials in my government, when it was clear to everyone that you would serve in the government as a senior minister.

Deri's a bum! A shanda that the chareidim defend him! Is that the best they can come up with?
He promised to stay out of politics.
He's a convicted thief multiple times is someone the frum are proud to have represent them. Wow such a chilul Hashem! Have the Rabbonim no self respect! A Busha!
Deri is guilty of only three crimes:
He’s a Sephardi
He’s haredi
He’s an able and competent politician (which makes him “dangerous”!)
For these three terrible “crimes” he has been consistently persecuted by a corrupt legal establishment and hounded by the racist (anti haredi, anti-Sephardi) media.
I do not believe him guilty of any other crimes!
I witnessed the first communist style sham trial against him – it was pure legal lynching!
Hopefully, we shall soon be liberated from the dictatorship of this self-appointed clique of “elitists” and enjoy rule by our democratically elected government.
Well I guess you're one of those guys who always screams persecution whenever a "frum" is caught with his hand in the till?
Yep "Kulam Tzadikim"....Sigh!
Worse than a crook. He is choshud, seriously suspected of knocking off the adoptive father of his wife to collect the yerusha
This must be satire.
And you probably believe O.J. Simpson didn’t kill his wife either.
Wow never heard that one, yikes!
He’s a Sephardi - and he's a crook
He’s haredi - and he's a crook
He’s an able and competent politician - synonym for crook
Here's the community that going into conniptions over the wrong hechsher on a piece of meet but outright theft? Nothing to complain about here, folks.
