The Shas Party launched a
new ad campaign Monday, with posters featured on thousands of buses and
billboards across the country blasting political opponents Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
Meanwhile, Shas secretary Rav Rafael Pinchasi announced on Monday 26 Kislev
5773, that it would be preferable to see Labor Party leader Shelly
Yechimovich get elected over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, YWN reports.
Speaking with Ladaat.info, Pinchasi is quoted as saying “I believe
the response to my words from party officials will be outrage, but I
speak the truth as I see it and I am not deterred by anyone.”
Netanyahu has not acted as
expected or promised, Pinchasi said. Yechimovich, Pinchasi explained “isn’t
anti-chareidi” as was seen on a number of cases when she supported funding
for Haredim in sessions of the Knesset Finance Committee. “She has
proven over and over again that she addresses each case on its own
merit,” praising the fact she is genuine and unbiased.
