Three Shas MKs — Malchieli, Shreki, and Busso — joined a protest convoy Wednesday afternoon, according to journalist Eli Hirschman and N12. Meanwhile, Deputy Minister Aichler's vehicle reportedly became stuck in the slow-roll protest.
Shas lawmakers Malchieli, Shreki, and Busso joined a vehicle protest convoy on Wednesday afternoon, as reported by journalist Eli Hirschman via N12. The convoys, which began earlier in the day, are being staged by Haredi activists against the arrest of draft evaders and the broader IDF conscription campaign targeting yeshiva students.
Separately, Deputy Minister Aichler's vehicle reportedly got stuck amid the slow-roll protest. The convoy is the latest in a series of actions that have seen growing participation from Haredi public figures and MKs, including UTJ's Meir Porush and leading rabbis. Police have reported traffic disruptions on Highways 1 and 6 and other routes.
It remains unclear whether any of the MKs were officially present in a personal capacity or representing the parliamentary faction.
