The leader of Shas party, Aryeh Deri, has been dismissed from his cabinet positions.

Israel’s Supreme Court ruled last week that the ministerial appointment of Shas party leader Aryeh Deri was “extremely unreasonable” in light of his conviction last year for tax evasion. The court also noted his subsequent promise to quit political life as part of a plea deal and his conviction two decades ago on bribery, fraud and breach-of-trust charges while in office, for which he served nearly two years in prison.

He will formally present Netanyahu with the task on Sunday and give him a month to cobble together a governing coalition with a majority in the 120-seat Knesset. Netanyahu had governed Israel for 12 successive years before being being ousted by a broad but fragile coalition in 2021. Those recommending Netanyahu included Ben Gvir’s Jewish Power party, the ultranationalist Religious Zionist party, the openly homophobic Noam faction, and other ultra-Orthodox parties. Like its previous repeated elections, Israel’s Nov. 1 vote was largely centered on Netanyahu’s fitness to rule. Critics see him as a crook who threatens Israel’s democratic institutions by placing his legal woes above the national interest.
