Commenting on ongoing coalition talks between Likud/Beitenu and Bayit HaYehudi, Shas leader Eli Yishai on Thursday morning 18 Adar 5773 explained that he feels Bayit HaYehudi and Yesh Atid are working to keep Shas out of the coalition, and those efforts appear to be succeeding.
Yishai stated that while Shas aspires to be in the coalition, ?we will not betray our hashkafa, our beliefs or our values?.
Yishai writes on his Facebook page that while he does not have first hand information regarding the progress in the talks between the parties, it appears that there is progress and the current situation is one that will not permit Shas to enter the coalition.
Yishai feels the general elections resulted in an untenable situation and ?there are elements who are taking advantage of the situation to advance their agenda at the expense of voters, who are being betrayed.?
He added that ?entering the coalition and receiving ministries, offices and posts are not an end, but a means to serve the tzibur at large and there is no shame in this?, explaining the party?s desire to become a coalition member. He laments the efforts against the Torah world and the inexperience of the new MKs, which he feels is evident in the manner in which they are conducting themselves.
Yishai promises that in or out of the coalition, Shas will continue doing its utmost to serve the tzibur and remain true to its constituents.
