At the end of Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef's speech at a rally against the arrest of draft evaders in Bnei Brak on Monday evening, protesters shouted 'Deri home,' according to journalist Eli Hirshman (N12).
At the conclusion of Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef's address during a protest rally in Bnei Brak against the arrest of draft evaders, some attendees shouted 'Deri home,' a reference to Shas leader Aryeh Deri. The incident was reported by journalist Eli Hirshman (N12) in a single-source report on Monday evening. The rally, led by Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef — one of the senior rabbinical figures of Shas — was itself a response to military police arrests of Haredi draft evaders, a subject of ongoing public debate and protest in recent weeks. The exact identity of the protesters who shouted the slogan is not specified in the report, nor is a direct response from Deri or other Shas officials. As The Zioneer reported on June 23, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef had announced the rally in advance.
