Atias: Shas praying for Obama's support

Housing and Construction Minister Ariel Atias said: "Shas is congratulating US President Barack Obama for his victory. The struggle over these elections was about the financial policy towards the people and Obama's victory shows the lower classes demand the government not to neglect them.

"We pray for the Obama administration's support for Israel, in the light of the challenges and threats it is facing." (Akiva Novick)
