According to a Hebrew-language report, Shas leader Aryeh Deri attempted to prevent the anti-draft-arrest rally in Bnei Brak from taking place and opposed the attendance of senior rabbinic figure Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef. The report's details remain attributed to an anonymous source.
A Hebrew-language report published Tuesday evening asserts that Shas leader Aryeh Deri attempted to prevent the holding of the anti-draft-arrest rally in Bnei Brak and specifically opposed the attendance of Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, a senior Shas rabbinic figure who ultimately spoke at the event. The report, which cites an unnamed source, has not been corroborated independently. The claim follows a separate reported incident earlier Tuesday in which shouts of 'Deri home' interrupted Rabbi Yosef's speech at the same rally, as covered by The Zioneer in an earlier bulletin. Deri's office has not yet responded to the report. The Zioneer rates the claim as Developing — substantive and credible given its sourcing from a vetted channel, but resting on a single, unattributed account.
