Peres: No reason to prevent Deri from reentering politics
None
President Shimon Peres said there is no reason to prevent former Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri from returning to politics.
At a meeting with haredi students Peres said, "From the moment Deri was released (from prison) only the people can decide whether to vote for him or not. There are no other considerations – he is not disqualified." (Kobi Nahshoni)
