The Shas party claims responsibility for the release of yeshiva student Aviel Cohen, who was jailed for draft evasion. Party leader Aryeh Deri was involved, according to Shas sources reported by Abu Ali Express.
The Shas party has publicly taken credit for the release of Aviel Cohen, a yeshiva student who was imprisoned for evading military conscription. According to a report by Abu Ali Express citing party sources, Chairman Aryeh Deri was instrumental in securing Cohen's release. This follows earlier reporting by The Zioneer that Cohen's family was told he would be freed before Shabbat despite a 14-day sentence, and that his case had been a focal point of ultra-Orthodox protests yesterday. The statement by Shas frames the release as a political achievement, underscoring the party's role in advocating for the Haredi community on the conscription issue.
